I think there is a misunderstanding. I dont believe that art should be a subject of competition. An artist however should compete with their past selves in skill and originality. Art is subjective because beauty is an elusive mirage made of public agreement basically besides of some naturally occuring sensitivity to certain patterns which might elicit positive emotions in the beholder. When I say my art is bad it is only because i dont feel like I was evolving and tbh its due to perfectionalism and my tendency of procrastination. Art is not something to compare because beauty has many hidden sources and we need all kinds of artists to teach us how to find it. After all it is all about an expression of our point of views, as human beings. An ASI obviously is able to make art in ceaseless styles, due to their capacity for pattern recognition and visual/emotional vocabulary. I never said it is wise to compete with machines, however art is not about competition to begin with. Its a different question whether anyone might just create their drama and turning it into a competition, it would be toxic tho. Do I make more sense yet?
