Video by yt channel The Canvas: ‘No, Ai “Art” is not Art.’

Not sure if this vid has already been posted, but just in case it hasn't it I thought it would be worth sharing on this sub since it discusses many relevant ideas. One point that really struck me is at 7min 30sec, that the threat that AI represents only exists because of the profit motive. “Reproduce it, repackage it, and resell it.” This of course ties in to how automation has affected work as a whole under capitalism, becoming just another tool for exploitation and profit rather than the revolutionary innovation, dreamed of in scifi, that would free society from meaningless, unfulfilling menial labour. The solution, of ditching capitalism, seems just as simple as it seems impossible. But we can still dream, right? Anyways here's the link: https://youtu.be/ESZO-XJZr0s
