It's not the loss of ownership I'm lamenting, it's the loss of production by humans in the first place.

People made the same argument about Cameras vs Painting. "Humans are no longer creating the art!"

But I doubt most people would subscribe to that view now and would say Photography is an entirely new art form.

> People made the same argument about Cameras vs Painting.

I remember that from a couple of years ago, when Stable Diffusion came out. There was a lot of talk about "art" and "AI" and someone posted a collection of articles / interviews / opinion pieces about this exact same thing - painting vs. cameras.
