It doesn’t. Art isn’t ‘supposed’ to be easy or hard, it is also not ‘supposed’ to be economically
viable or non-viable. Creating art was all of these things (hard, easy, profitable etc) in different places and different times. Art is still very hard because art is an expression of a human finding something true about the world they want to pass on. The tools don’t matter. Public recognition, largely, also doesn’t matter for good art (as long as it speaks to
someone.) AI tools are easy but public recognition is hard to obtain. Both of these things have nothing to do with the quality of art.
If an artist has something to say with AI, they can just say it, no one is going to imprison them. Artists did that throughout the entire history (sometime even with the threat of being jailed), nothing changed in this regard with AI.
Art is hard not because of the tools but because you have to have something worthwhile to say (most people don’t) and you have to figure out a way how to get another human to listen, and also you have to hope that someone some day will listen because what you’re saying is true, even if it doesn’t sell today or ever.
