That's a very interesting point Dom. I've noticed that as soon as I realise that something is AI generated I'm more inclined to discard it even when its not art. For example, with notebookLM which ought to be, and in many ways is, a brilliant tool, I find myself ignoring the content even though it is genuinely useful.

Interesting topics! I think regardless of whether AI-generated poetry, art, music etc. becomes "better" than human-generated content, part of what we enjoy about art is the knowledge that it was generated by a human with a story.

For example, even if AI can generate new Taylor Swift songs, there's no creative process or real story and no performer to get behind, so I'm not convinced people will engage with it in the same way (although I'm sure it will be used as a creative tool, or for e.g. background music).
