I feel like if you'd specifically said "will A.I. art create stuff indistinguishable from human art" even six months ago, hell, maybe even two months ago, they'd likewise cry about how it's a century plus away.

Yet we have such A.I. art NOW.

Fuck, post a poll somewhere that isn't savvy on the topic, and I bet they'd STILL say so, despite the insanely quality work that some A.I. art generators have managed to put out.

To say nothing of the people who'd decry the reality we now embrace as an impossible fantasy.

I honestly worry for their sanity when the singularity comes about. The folks who see this stuff as impossible aren't ready for so much as the next half a dozen years of progress, much less a decade from now.
