Firstly, art and creativity are turning into a kind of Lego constructor with minimal value, and secondly, it is becoming more and more difficult to trust the news, because AI makes better and better deepfakes; Thirdly, people, for example, I have a friend on the Internet, but due to the frequent use of AI, he has become quite apathetic, I try to support him and somehow help him, as I did before, but more and more often he just ignores me and brushes me off with a simple thank you or bye, and if we communicate, then not for long, since he does not listen to me, but usually he shows me masterpieces or memes that he has generated with the help of AI, calling it real art, honestly, it is more and more unpleasant for me to communicate with him.
I hope I explained clearly, sorry, the exact explanations are not about me.
nothing can “devalue” art. each piece of art means something different to every person who has ever perceived it. nothing can add or remove “value” from that.
you can argue it removes economic value from it, but then I would remind you that money and the economy is entirely made up and has no intrinsic value of it’s own besides what you give it.
either way, if you’re perceiving art as less valuable because of the existence of generative AI, then it is your own subjective choice for that art to have less value, not an objective “fact” as you claim.
Well, unfortunately, we live in a complex world where thinking that you know something for sure can end in a fatal mistake, and history has proven this many times. So yes, value is a relative concept.
