    Maybe they were artificially inseminated?

  Effectively I believe we are. During my MFA I realized we were simply copying as a form of craft. It’s all we do in arts. Any great work feels like just one continuous story retold again and again.

    This is deeply cynical.

      The Platonic Ion makes similar cynical claims. The idea that art is mimetic is compelling enough without gen AI.

        Okay, I feel like we’re doing a motte and bailey here. I’m not arguing that art is never mimetic.

        There’s a lot of diversity in the stories we tell. If we were “simply copying as a form of craft,” where is this diversity coming from? Do you mean something different than what I’m interpreting?

        Keep in mind, the thing that I am contending with is that the nature of people retelling stories is not unlike a robot that lacks a conscious. I think this is downright silly.
