That is a problem, certainly, but the crux of my issue with AI art is its soullessness

I think you are right there. The metasphysical conception of creativity is not in keeping with dialectical materialism.

And all automated mass production is still mass production.

So you agree that the proleteriat is involved. And under capitalism this tech alienates workers.

Curious what you think I haven’t “figured out”? You’re already making this pretty personal with this very clear dig at my ability to understand so it’s a little late for the hand-wringing when the sentence before it is basically an insult.

That was a response to the condescension here:

We have established nothing of the sort and so the axiom remains firmly in place.

^you could have clarified why instead of coming up with that nothingness. You just made a circular argument. And it was to a response to what I thought was a common ground you found. No you want to retreat to a supposed moral high ground.

I think given what you said about soulness that is obviously not dialectical materialist take I think we have reached a cross road here. It makes sense why the arguments against the arguments you have made are taken as arguments as you as a person.

I will leave it there for now. Have a good day.
