So the best books are the ones that never get published? The Best music is free on Soundcloud? The best movies are freely available on Peertube?
Your realize that in order to achieve greatness in a field it takes time, if artists can’t live from their art because anyone is free to just make copy of it and to sell it and keep the profit to themselves then instead of making art they’ll have to find another job instead.
You might believe that AI will replace them, but AI doesn’t understand what it’s doing it just regurgitates stuff until the person asking for it finds it good enough. It lacks the will to generate emotions in the viewer or listener.

Bull fucking shit, you know as well as I do that your point doesn’t make sense.

“The best art is the one created by people who get no recognition for it”
Do you also believe the best houses are built by people who have no training in how to build them?
“Stop paying artists and people will keep creating”
They will, they won’t be able to spend the time required to become masters at it unless they’re already rich enough not to have to spend time working. It’s also the same thing here, let’s stop paying plumbers, people who like doing plumbing will just continue doing it. Let’s stop paying garbage people, someone will keep doing it because they like it… Oh wait, no they won’t.

People deserve a form of compensation for their work if we want to live in functioning societies. If we go back to living in small tribes then sure, people will just do what they must without compensation because it’s required to survive, but then human population would be in the millions instead of billions and we wouldn’t be here to talk about it because the technology wouldn’t exist anymore.
