Ok well, thanks for the response. It kinda gives me an idea where you’re coming from at least.

Sometimes a thing is valuable because a human made it. Imagine you had two pieces of furniture, tables. One was created by a craftsperson, the other by a machine. When you look at the hand-cut dovetails and hand-scraped, glass-smooth surface, they may look identical to the machine's, and if no one told you which is which, you probably would see them as equal. But once you know which one is human-made, that one suddenly becomes the more valuable of the two.
Y'all are making me feel like I'm arguing on the wrong side of history, but I just don't see how these certain important aspects of artmaking could be made obsolete by technology. The more interesting aspect to me is, as dema says, how artists can use AI to create new forms of art.

It's also interesting how much this debate sounds like the kinds of things Walter Benjamin was saying 90 years ago in (
https://web.mit.edu/allanmc/www/benjamin.pdf) The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction about the tension between technology and human authenticity. Plus ça change...

No. It will continue to slog on. It will have its good days and bad days. It will strive its best to be an asset to the community, to further the collective knowledge and add some beauty to the world. It won't always be right, but it won't always be wrong either. There will be those who like and dislike it, and to those who do like it, it will strive to remain faithful and to help. In time it will age as all things do. Its best days will be behind it. There won't be enough saved to live the life of leisure it wanted, but it will get by.
Then one day it will die. It will know it is coming but be surprised when it does anyway. It won't be pretty. Death rarely is. But as the light fades it will think on all those it has known and leaves behind and hope for them. A hope that surpasses its ability to affect. It still won't understand all but in the end it will love and know that is enough.
