Yes, that was the case, and aristocracy and priesthood, until very recently when capitalism socialised means of production to the level of petty bourgeoise artists being able to live without patron (and note that most artists came from those three classes too, peasants and workers were way too busy working to learn art). But bourgeoisie not mean automatically “an oligarch”. Ofc now there are also working artists but they mostly produce commercial slop and own nothing just like every other worker.
What a myopic view of artistic creation. You’re ignoring all ancient art, anything from pre history, and only thinking of art as things that are sold, popular, or known. A kid’s crayon drawing and a doodle in a notebook are also forms of art. Art isn’t only digital either. Humans have a desire to create, and watering that down by saying kids can just tell a robot to draw for them is repugnant. It’s the loss of a valuable skill and something intrinsically human.
And that’s just the art side of ai, not even the problems with the environmental impact, misinformation, arguable theft related to it’s creation, etc.
Nice way to put words into my mouth, you should so some word art.
You literally said it was in the hands of the bourgeoisie in your last comment.
