I’m having trouble understanding you’re objection to it then. If the purpose of art is to make you feel something and this AI media is accomplishing that, why do you need to distinguish between the two?
Do you not trust what’s happening in those higher dimensions?
Do you want to preserve a walter benjamin-esque aura in human art?
The purpose of art is not to make me feel something. That’s hedonism; functionally masturbation.
The purpose of art is to serve as a method of communication and bond forming. That’s the clinical way of putting it but to evoke a bit more “woo”…
The purpose of art is to allow two or more humans to communicate on a level simple dialogue cannot achieve. It’s to take the thoughts that live in your head, with or without the limitations of compression needed for transmission (medium), and put them in my head. It was never about feelings or personal satisfaction, those are happy bi-products; its about community and human connection.
AI adds a layer of abstraction in the form of a second, non-human, communicator. I cannot attribute art created by Claude to its user, the user has been obscured, and I can no longer hear their thoughts.
