A painting or story made by artificial intelligence is not human because it does not have a life story behind it. I still enjoy reading the artist's biography, some of his correspondence, trying to understand his creative process. If you pour your heart into your work we can bond through human experience, maybe we can even sit down and talk. An AI does not fear death or loneliness. Sometimes I think that part of this site's audience only considers art from a consumer-product perspective. For me it goes a little further.

Imagine you are an artist. You as a patron connect and talk about a piece of art, you walk away happy and feeling connected. He does not sell any art because they are indistinguishable from what the AI can produce with the cost of electricity. Now if you are willing to pay for "bonding over human experience", GPT can probably be trained to do that as well. Generative AI eliminates the livelihood of almost all artists eventually.
