Certainly, your observation is spot on. Let's not forget that the concept of money is embedded in a complex system, and historically, art has predominantly been an arena for the wealthy and powerful.
Is it possible to "give to AI what belongs to AI, and to art, what belongs to art?" There's nothing stopping anyone from creating art without the influence of AI.
I envision a revival of art made by human hands. Picture a world where photographers move away from uninspiring stock photos, writers transcend routine copy, creators break away from producing generic content for mass appeal, and film directors along with actors pick projects that truly speak to them—eschewing commercials and roles they're not passionate about for the chance to produce and perform in front of live audiences.
Those who've spent time in the commercial creative sphere will emerge transformed. This change will narrow the opportunities for artists to leverage their talents solely for financial gain, prompting us to ask: Will this usher in more joy and satisfaction, or could it lead to the opposite? Only time will tell.
