The art community is currently throwing a tantrum because of the rise of AI-generated art. Soon other types of artists such as writers will also suffer a similar fate.
But consider the wider implication of what this means. If AI can generate art that is as good or even better than what humans make, it means this whole bullshit about art being 'special' was all just utter horseshit all along. That it can all just be broken down into a bunch of ones and zeros. There is no deeper meaning. Artists won't serve any purpose in the future because their 'talent' can be automated.
But do you know what CAN'T be automated? Sexual pleasure. And all pleasure for that matter. AI cannot make you orgasm, get you drunk, make you taste good food, etc. Once AI automates all this other bullshit, those will be the ONLY reasons to exist just as they were thousands of years ago.
