I'm confused by this comment, some things made with AI tools are very similar to what we were seeing before but that's either done intentionally because someone really wanted to make something in an existing style or it's done by amateurs who haven't got the hang of crafting and combining prompts yet so they just use the copy/paste "in the style of" "by X" prompts.

Just try browsing the most popular images from Midjourney and you'll see a lot of stuff that stands out, and these are the popular images that most people find acceptable. The iceberg goes much, much deeper when you dig into the galleries of individual creators.

That could be how culture breaks out of the corporate monocultures where Disney+, ClearChannel, etc own everything. See the AI’s could generate new “Beatles” songs which sound authentic but aren’t. This could lead to an era of high grade “fan fiction “ essentially.

However I’d guess the corporations would push really hard to own anything that “sounds like” the Beatles to prevent that.
