AI is to the point where it can create it's own style. We talk about these styles as if it's some kind of sacred thing. What you don't realize is that we're past this point.

There's a latent space of different art within a certain style category, but there's the latent space of different categories itself. AI can already traverse the space between art in a single style category AND it can traverse the gradient space BETWEEN categories. It can even go beyond that.

AI has turned everything into a freaking best fit curve.

Copywrite is such a mundane question. It's just a fight against the inevitable truth. That human creativity are just points on that curve. Nothing more, nothing less.

I view this as a BAD thing. Copywrite is good, it's great. It's a law that implies what humans create has meaning. But we have to face the truth. That the output we produce is in actuality just one part of a high level pattern. That's all we are.
