Is AI art and nfts part of late stage capitalism?
Here me out, capitalism's goals are to make money and make it efficiently. Ai makes “art” efficiently. The only artists appreciated in capitalism are the ones who rake in large amounts of money. Nft “artists” who use templates of the same damn monkey over and over again make almost enough to buy three houses.
Eventually people won't want to hire artists if ai does exactly the same thing but faster, and probably cheaper, and nobody's going to respect artists who don't rake in millions with nfts.
“After all if they're not making money with the thing they do, isn't there better stuff to do, like working a desk job, or retail?” That is the mindset of this shitty society.
I got a little off track, but the question is still the same. Is Ai art a part of late stage capitalism?
