This will be achieved under socialism only i’m afraid. Although most likely even then there will be no turning back

Hard agree

Unless you mean the thing that really gatekeep art from the workers: talent.

Talent doesn’t actually exist. Getting good at art just takes the motivation and resources to spend thousands of hours practicing. It’s labor like any other labor. The “talent” that people perceive in artists is just an inclination to pursue that particular form of labor, or the privilege of having the free time to learn it. What differentiates art from other kinds of labor is the manner in which capitalists value it. Most human beings are driven to produce some art or craft, many dream of it as a hobby or mythical career path. But only sellouts usually make it, and the highly competitive market artists exist in ensure only those who are willing to work with the bourgeoisie rise to the top, while those who want to pursue art for pleasure or escapism are barred from popularity. Plenty of artists who charge a pittance for their work can create things just as well as any “pro”, the difference is that they grew up proles and didn’t win the lottery. It’s the same game the bourgoisie pulls with sports players. Plenty of people around the world are absolutely jacked and spend all their free time thinking about sports. But the ones who make it sell their performance to the bourgeoisie.

You do need to put time and labour in the AI generation. Currently generating something decent require dozens of tries and most likely also post processing to remove artifacts.

Key word: currently. As they get more refined, they will learn what humans find proper and what we don’t, and those roles will be automated out too, or someone will design tools specifically for the purpose of automating them out.
