@Gargron If the people enjoying the art get the same enjoyment and aesthetic experience from AI art as from human-generated art, then the difference is solely the experience of the creator.

Which means "art" would be more about the act of creating rather than experiencing the end product. This is fine -- all the art I create is of value to me because I created it, regardless of whether someone else enjoys it or not.

This is a hard pill for many artists to swallow. And a blow to the biz model.
