A new study reveals that the introduction of AI boosts sales while squeezing out human creators.

The results were striking: Once generative AI (GenAI) entered the market, the total number of images for sale skyrocketed, while the number of human-generated images fell dramatically. On the flip side, consumers showed a taste for the influx of AI-generated images, choosing GenAI images over human-generated ones.

    Ominous Capitalistic Chanting: Art is something you consume. Do not self-actualize. Do not ask why you like things, only ask for things you like.

      Wait a second…

      About AI-generated or human made art, does it matter why do we like them? If you like it, you like it.

            You’re literally telling me to stop thinking about it.

            Let’s try it from another angle: If art was merely a commercial activity that was for hedonistic purposes only, why do fascists hate artists so much?

              I don’t know why this happens on Lemmy so much but it seems to happen with literally every comment I make. I am not the person you were talking to originally. I commented to add on to the other person’s point.

              And no, no one is telling you to stop thinking about it. They said “if you like it, you like it”. That’s not thought terminating. You can have a discussion about why you like it. You are the one that said “do not ask why we like things”. You’re literally the one that brought up the topic of “thought terminating”.
