AI Will Make Human Art More Valuable

The rise of generative AI models has led to equal amounts of clapping and handwringing. One worry is that, as Kevin Kelly put it, "artificial intelligence can now make better art than most humans." So where does that leave us? The mistake is to assume that the meaning of "better" will stay the same. What's more likely is that the goal posts will shift because we will move them. We have changed our collective tastes in response to technological progress in the past.
