The thing with averages is that they tend to look very similar. That is, if you average out many random things, the results will start to resemble. AI art is simply averaging out human art hence it loses the diversity that makes art what it is.

@seconds_0 If I don’t write, I become miserable. The effect is slow to set on at first, but the longer I go, the more it feels as if *everything* in my life is a waste of time, no matter how meaningful. It is ALL keeping me from writing, and I begin to resent the world.
@seconds_0 Life feels dull and pointless much of the time. When you're truly locked into creative mode it feels like everything is unbelievably joyful, alive, and interesting. It feels like you are doing what you are made to do. It makes you want to chase that high your whole life.
