So while I don't think people are gonna be walking around with playlists of AI slop, businesses will be using it as a cost-effective option, which means it will be eating away at the gig potential for artists in the low-to-mid layers of the food chain. Which sucks, but is thankfully less grim than everyone just preferring the AI slop for some reason.

I do think that an actual strong AI would be inclined to make art that is enjoyable to itself and other AIs, not humans, so I don't think making it ape us is an actual good test for when an AI becomes capable of creativity.
