I had the option here to use a.i. art. I considered doing it. I did not take that path. I will happily pay my artists. I do not care if my art is "ms paint" quality. I'd rather suck than have it be generated for me. At least it would be mine.
In this story, is it really generative a.i. in the same way or is it an actual person? If A.G.I. can pass a turing test, would you treat the art they make as generative...or is that thing an artist? Would you treat them as a person? Maybe just not one with the same kind of soul?
