It certainly is liberating all our creative works from our possession...

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.

Using generative AI is a lot closer to hiring a photographer and telling them to take pictures for you than taking the pictures themselves.

I mean, you still have the option of taking pictures yourself, if you find that creative and rewarding...

Absolutely, but it still doesn't make hiring a photographer an art form.
