Original Reddit post

For some quick color: I am a musician. I write poetry and other creative forms writing. I paint. I enjoy consuming many different mediums of art and creation. I’m approaching almost 10 years of participating in the debate of whether or not AI is legitimate threat to the desire/need for human art creation. Ever since this was put on my radar, I have found myself on an island with my perspective on the topic. There is little doubt in my mind that AI has the capability – in the offing at that – to replace the human in many forms of art. Not entirely will it, but I can see it taking over the majority of some industries (I don’t want to get into the weeds about if AI is prompted is it still technically human creation because we created AI as well blah, blah etc.). I have been seeing more and more posts on socials of how people that I have a relationship with are being duped by AI - many of which are artists of some form themselves. We are at the point where fact checking what we are listening to or viewing is becoming necessary. Whenever I have engaged in discussion about the future of music and AI and how that landscape will eventually settle almost every time I am met with the opinion that: Humans are simply going to want human art. Okay. That’s fair but how are they going to know? They just will. AI doesn’t have emotions so it will not be relatable like art created by a human mind. Sure… but even if AI doesn’t sentient AGI or even the agentic AI level, at minimum, wouldn’t it become good enough at mimicry? Art is a space that has very few boundaries. It lives and dies but interpretation. Grading is subjective, and there is not an inherent need for objectivity for it. There is not a way to measure it outside of if someone enjoys it or not. It’s not a math question that has a predetermined answer we can definitely compare to what someone answers. I’m looking for someone that feels AI is not a threat with more of a reason than “Because I said so”. Or maybe the majority of users in this sub align more with my take on it all? submitted by /u/Famous-Lead5216
