Art should not be enjoyed by everyone, not just the wealthy, but devaluing the skilled labour and creativity of artists isn’t how we get to that. My beef with generative AI isn’t just the impacts on artists, but also the fact that these systems are reinforcing the same upwards flow of wealth to the ultra-rich. That is to say that AI enriches those who are profiting from depriving many of basic enrichment.
Whilst I disagree with the sentiment of your comment, I appreciate your acknowledgement of access to art as “basic enrichment”. That much we can agree on.
That was a mistake. I rewrote that first sentence a few times and accidentally wrote the opposite of my intended meaning. I have edited it now, but thank you for highlighting the error

Blatant elitism.
