I don’t mean this in a negative way, but if you’re concerned about AI completely supplanting human art, then you have a limited view of art.

Part of what makes great art is the intentionality and story behind it - take the abstract art movement. Most pieces aren’t technically difficult to create, but the representation and symbolism are what make the pieces so captivating.

There will always be a demand for human created art, just as there will always be a demand for naturally occurring gemstones. We can grow perfect diamonds in a lab for a fraction of the price of naturally occurring ones, yet people are still drawn to natural ones despite their flaws and imperfections.

Yes, but i feel ai will also be able to start drawing symbolism soon. Perhaps there is something different about human made symbolism and creativity in general that computers can never generate, but i think for general purpose ai has also passed that. Many ai pictures can comfortably pass off as an artist's work.

This actually brings up another point, what will stop people from passing AI work as their own, original work? Especially if there is the demand for human work like some sort of luxury product as you said
