@slothrop@chaos.social @lawprofblawg@mstdn.social YESS I've been saying that for years. The only reason why it seems plausible to people that AI would replace artists, writers and academics is because our collective experience of art, reading and science has been degraded for decades by capitalist market forces. The question is how could we have let it come so far that our cultural output and, even more importantly, our cultural literacy has become so overwhelmingly underwhelming?
