I think I generally agree with this take, with the caveat that I still hugely value AI generated art, even the kitsch stuff. Why? Because it's me. I wouldn't have been able to have a portrait of my wife and I together without finding an artist and commissioning a painting. Now, I can have something that is personalized, pleasant to look at, and meaningful. Even if it isn't an original style or anything noteworthy artistically, I hugely value the AI art because it can give me something that I want, that is meaningful to me.



> pleasant to look at

That is very subjective. Mass market art loses appeal fast, popular turns common, what is unique steals the spotlight and tastes change.

I can see best quality AI generated custom portraits being as pleasant to look at as selfies.
