Can someone tell me what the point of this article is? Got halfway through and everything could have been summarized with:

People hate slop.

It is known, brother.

Turns out putting sawdust into our rice krispies made people stop buying our product.

Apparently they want the “rice premium”.

Defining non-AI art as having a ‘human premium’ assumes that AI art is in any way the same thing. Slop might be cheaper than art, but it’s not the same thing.

I don’t buy this. I think this take is tech-washing the problem.
