99% of art is made without the intention of selling it. I think it is bizarre that capitalists are so desperate to make art = money when that was never the point to begin with for the majority of it. It is just another perversion from our greedy culture.
That’s why they want to replace the artist with AI.
Oh sure, they have used commercial artist's work without compensation so many times. It is clear they never wanted to pay for it to begin with.
