I never said that art will necessarily come from AI in its current form but it’s true that it’s what I had in mind. You basically expressed something very similar to what I meant in your last paragraph.

And yes I do love pencil drawing :)

But I’m more thinking about conceptual artists with decades of work behind them that I can imagine will create art using these AI tools that will transcend what the average Joe/Jane is producing with these tools right now. To produce something that will shock, move us, make us think.

There are so many different facets to art.

It’s a tool. Artists will learn how to use it to create art.

They should’ve said “all other inhabitants” to remove the ambiguity.
