There is a huge amount of "cope" among arts people who claim they can spot AI prose (for example) and that it's sub-standard, but then pay $2m for a crime novel that later turns out to be AI generated. I'm tempted to ask if it really matters if a book is AI generated so long as you enjoy it?

A lot of human exceptionalism going around tbh. The only distinguishing feature in the future of AI in the creative space is going to be if you can tell. Can AI make art? No. Art is what humans do when we deal with the human condition. Is most entertainment art? Also no.

Same cognitive dissonance people go through when they try the "Marvel films are cinema!" thing and Scorsese is like "no, this is a different genre of thing, it's entertainment, that's ok, but not cinema". The current AI rubric seems to be "if its something I care about it couldn't possible be AI!"
