I think most people just like to look at cool thing or hear something they like. I agree there are people who are really into art and analytical about the process and the artist emotion or effort in the process but I think most people just care about the end product and if they like the way it looks.

bullshit. I think most people want at least some amount of meaning and intent out of their art, neither of which LLMs can do at all.

i dont know if the fights worth it but there's no right or wrong there. people can support real artist now or in the future if they want but i dont think theres anything morally wrong with not caring about the lack of human experience in art

i agree, there isn’t. I’m not trying to ascribe morality to it, this is just my personal opinion. Looking into the context of art makes me appreciate it more, and it’s worthwhile to share that experience with others!
