I look at these works of art created by artificial intelligence and I think: yes, it's beautiful, yes, it's good, but... What's the point? Where's the story, where's the work, if everything is so simple, then what's the point? It's no better than a store where you come and buy, although no, you come, take everything you need for free and leave. I don't see any value in it, it's just boring.

Hot take: No different than most everything nowadays. Look at clothing, furniture, blankets, toys, etc. all of it used to be handcrafted and the value of it was the work put in.

All those things today are nearly as good quality if not better, and mass produced with no blood sweat and tears anymore. Do you look at your clothes and think about how clothes used to mean something? They did. It used to be a big deal the work spent making good clothes.

Perhaps the next generation will look at graphic art the same way - just dime-a-dozen disposable decoration.

If everything is so simple what’s the point? To enjoy life however you like.

Obviously not for you... But go look at how the mass production of cheap goods work, like a fast fashion factory for example. And then reconsider your anwer.
