>There’s nothing AI can currently produce like the organic expression of actual human artists

If that were the case, you'd think it would be easier to tell what is and isn't AI generated art, but people are routinely failing at this in both directions.

First of all- Organic expression isn’t meant to be interchangeable with quality. There’s a ton of bad art out there lol. But to be fair- not everyone’s literacy and understanding of specific arts are on the same field of understanding. Subjectivity of the end consumer plays a major role in constituting someone’s concept of quality. The fact that ai is blurring the lines between ai curated art and human creative expression is problematic- but organic expression can’t exist in AI by definition.

edit for a point

The takeaway from my point was supposed to be- even in AI’s infancy, it’s negatively effecting artists now.

I misinterpreted you to mean that it felt soulless. But whether the consumer sees the soul in a piece has more to do with them than the artist.

In any case, yes. Artists are bound to be negatively influenced, and I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone with the receipts to show how their commissions fell off a cliff. I'm sure it's happening for a lot of people.
