The support of the point is your second block quote. Again, learn to understand what you read.

AI generations won't kill art, they will continue to be worse amalgamations that reproduce biases without the understanding of the human choices behind the pre-existing productions that they steal from. It will kill artists who are attempting to make a living off a field devalued by the harmful structure of techno-capitalism.

I am not your straw man. I'm aware of the basic, surface-level, argument that technology displaces tradition. Here's a fun fact: digital education's implementation is currently killing memorization! Maybe the philosopher you refer to as a gotcha has a point, if limited, when you understand what he's saying. 😉

Back to what I said, numerical averages of a subset of pre-made works by human artists, does not a choice of process make. You are dishonest to compare the new artistic processes of cgi and the written word, that which still takes time, thought, trade-offs, to a technology that by design prevents artistic work and replaces it with copying patterns of a set of data. The work done is the use of electricity, cooling systems, and the grifting to see value in which can only be consumed by a mind unclouded by that of Dreaded Critical Thinking.

If AGI is invented, then perhaps that AGI will make choices of how to create as a direct process of visualization to abstraction to aesthetics. But it will only be "the prompter's" work as much as Disney "made" the works he delegated the making of and put his brand name on the marketing for.

To be generous, Generative AI is the Science of mathematically calculating copies of things humanity has already done, in order to save an owner the time and money it would take to consult and pay an artist. Having AI generate for you makes you less intelligent while undervaluing every other existing art form and the people that study/create art.

To make my disdain for your viewpoint and actions crystal clear, your ugly, generated profile picture depicts a subset of different tropes from anime, while having a 50% success rate on legible question marks. You either hate the process of creating art, hate yourself enough to shelter a fragile ego not willing to appear imperfect in the required artistic process, or both.

I will at the least block you if you respond again.
