    so of course this looks like impressive art to younger people and no one else;

    So what exactly do you consider “impressive art”?

    you’ll love the AI music we sell you too!

    The money argument is frankly a bit pointless at the moment, since nobody has figured out how to make money with AI art. Any new AI tool is replicated by another company within months. The AI art itself is essentially worthless, since everybody can just generate it by themselves for free. A lot of the tools are also Open Source and can run on your own PC locally.

    Maybe one day we’ll have some AI-TikTok with an endless stream of user-targeted AI content and ads in between, but that doesn’t exist yet. For the time being, AI is just costing companies money, while users can enjoy it for free.
