People have free will and while most people don’t bother using it, a few in each generation think differently. Those are people like Einstein, Picasso, Hypatia, Curie, Yeshua, Tolkein, Wachowski, Ray. They bring genuinely new ideas into the space of human thought. If AI writes all the books, we don’t get any more Voltaires. If AI makes all the movies, we don’t get any more del Toros. If AI writes all the songs, we don’t get any more Hendrixes.

We get Hendrix copycats, sure. But nobody is going to change the game the way all the people I listed changed the game.

That’s alarmist nonsense. There will always be people still doing all those things. AI, in general, is just another tool. There will always be someone who changes the status quo. Always.

  Yes but being a musician shouldn’t necessistate being a genre defining artist.

    Nobody said that. AI is not stopping anyone from making music. In fact, my point is that people will still create art, despite AI being a thing. AI will be incorporated by some, definitely not all, artists. Just like electronics were before. The electric guitar and synthesizers were once new too.

That is never going to happen.

You can compare it to making clay pots.

We have mastered the art of making pots, we have entire factories that do nothing but make the most beautiful pots in all manner of shapes, sizes and colors. Millions of them each day. Nobody in the rest of human existence should ever need to make a clay pot by hand ever again.

Yet we still do.

Because art is something human. It makes us who we are. It is fun to express oneself. And no amount of automatization will ever take that away. We can be living in space and there will still be people making pots.

“All” being the key word, and obviously wrong.

If you could make a time machine and ask all of those people who their inspirations are you will get a list of five to ten people from each. No one is 100% uninspired by other people. That’s just not how art works.

  Good thing I didn’t make that argument you’re criticising
