Yea, hopefully it'll be a good advancement for us humans. I've heard some other deeper type thoughts about AI and art.

"Lesser artists borrow; great artists steal" That is I think a Pablo Picasso quote and given his art's influence from African art it seems quite possible. I then like to think about how as a human we are kind of producing art and music based on what we have heard and seen and been influenced by. The criticism of AI that it is only based on previous art is maybe possible to apply to us too. We can ponder about whether art or music is somehow in our "DNA", not literally but in some way bound in our emotions from our parents/grandparents/great grandparents etc., but we are also definitely influenced by our lived experience. We aren't like a spider who weaves a web from instinct? 😊
