As much as I would like to agree with you, however, I feel there is excellent value in AI. AI today is just like a computer keyboard for our grandparents, who hated giving up their ink pens. They fought it, but today, we can't live without keyboards and smartphones. Art will always be Art, just like writing with a pen or using the keyboard or in the future with AI. Only the type of Art will change, just like oil painting vs. Taking pictures with a digital camera. We can always run, but we can not hide!
By the way, about connecting with the readers, I have used AI and still use it, too. I have had better responses. Who knows, maybe AI did a better job for me in writing than I do on my own:))))
Great article!
Thank you for writing!
