There’s a blind spot in our modern society made apparent when people talk of “AI art” they don’t realize that art is a form of coping with existence. It’s not merely a consumer good. The creative process is therapeutic for the artist and this is what drives great art. Always has.

AI doesn’t need to cope with existence. It’s just a probability engine and has no inherent sense of relevance or beauty.

Art is a gift that must be given. Not ordered or delegated.
