Hey Ryan- Thanks for this write-up on art. I like your conclusion here: "I do believe, however, that people are hungrier than ever for some kind of beauty—and this will only increase. The ultimate commodifying of art, and the ultimate reduction of so much of it to merely a narrow activism predicated on a shrunken worldview (as Webb’s article highlights) creates an opportunity for the straw to finally break the camel’s back. Therein lies an opportunity for artists to forge a new imaginative way forward." The thing that worries me about the advent of AI is the watering down of unique art, ones that look distinctively and purposefully different. I sure hope we're somehow still heading in the right direction when it comes down to art. :)
