I had a thought afterwards that AI art is much like sugar; there is punch but no nutrition. There can't be any nutrition as there is no humanity within it, nothing to mull. And in this respect it is much like the novelty of the modern world.

Great analogy. 👍

Art should reflect the human heart.

AI "art" can never do that. Even if it can draw, paint or write.

I agree wholeheartedly. I am a writer, not of your caliber, and there are now AI generated books being electronically sold.

The other argument is that it's putting writers and artists out of work. If anyone can just generate these things who needs an artist, who needs a writer, who needs creativity from a human being?

Thanks Kay. It’s obscene really. There are plenty of awful writers who create works with no humanity in them. I might be unconcerned by them losing their jobs, were it not for it coming via the death of all human creativity and its replacement by the soulless products of machines.
