> The amount of AI art will explode, in turn serving as input for even more AI art ... The speed at which this will happen suggests to me we need to be far more alarmist in coming up with answers to many questions ...

I agree. I don't want to live in a AI-hamster-wheel future.

Human creativity is driven by emotion, curiosity, intuition... etc. AI creativity is basically an advanced form of copy-paste/blend using context -- all of which is learned from human content.

We should be working harder to empower human-creativity... which is an argument AI artists often make in favor of generative creativity... however this narrative falters when money gets cheap and automation disrupts whatever economies exist for creatives (esp writers and artists).
