Yes, AI is now able to produce artwork that we haven a proven understanding and appreciation for.
The problem is AI halts progress. For everything.
Why learn a new thing when you can ask an AI?
Why develop a new skill when you can ask AI to do it?
This then leads to more problems.
How can you understand something truly if you never store the information in your own brain?
How can you study something further if you never learn anything yourself?
How can you find new ways to do things if you never learn the things in the first place?
How can we progress society and art further if we rely on tools of stagnation that are programmed to do things the way they've been done in the past with no advancements?
AI is not progress, it is a finish line.
We need to reject AI not because we can do better. We should not cross the finish line early because if we do then we will never go further.
AI robs us of our most human qualities, and those human qualities are the ones that both bring us joy and push us forward.
I don't want want humans to stagnate, and thus I do not want AI.
