alternatively, what you should be saying, is that now art is a personal hobby for people who want to flex their achievements and find enjoyment in what they can do, rather than in how much money they can make as fast as possible.

The problem with this logic is that, if everyone is equally capable of something (in this case, art), there’s actually no value or achievement within it. There’s nothing to “flex” because you’re merely doing something that everyone else is equally capable of doing thanks to AI. This will also impact the enjoyment of said thing because that’s often directly linked to a sense of accomplishment or achievement as well. Which like I said, will be basically non-existent in a world where AI makes everyone an artist.

Think about artistic talent like a college degree basically. The more people with that same degree, the less valuable that degree is as a whole. A lot of people don’t seem to understand that, the scarcity of a skill is what gives the skill it’s value.

but no one cares, we're gonna be post labor in like 2 years if AI keeps getting better at the rate it has been.

2 years seems a bit unrealistic to me, but we’ll just have to wait and see I guess.
