The AI in that song is just used as a tool to emulate the sound of drake's voice. The rest is standard artist composition.

While I don't particularly care for the song, comparing it to doping is not reasonable.

Same with all AI art tools. Actual artists can make reasonable use of these tools to more efficiently convey what they had wanted to convey.

This is just like when cameras were invented. Or people started using digital mediums. Or when people started making 3D art.

Even simple prompt only stuff like midjourney is improving to allow artists more control over the image they are trying to create.

If we end up with a holo-deck style experience where artists can craft entire worlds and details through gesture and dictation as a form of expression, is that still not art?

That's one type of art, just not grammy-sanctioned art.

Ideas are a dime a dozen. That a tool can bring it to life without much effort doesn't make it an amazing work of craft. Having said that, there could be a category in which made up ideas are the center. Like books and short stories.

I can think of a mouse with the head of David Hasselhoff giving a thumbs up while riding a dinasour-shaped rocket next to a black hole. Where's my art award?!!!!

Yes there are different types of art. Yes some are impressive for technical skill in a specific medium. Traditional Hyper-Realism or corporate artists are good examples. Sandcastle art is cool too.

I don't think these things will lose their unique value, but they are similarly not arguments against photography, film,digital art, etc for the things that give them their unique value. I think that also applies to AI mediums.

Nuance in everything.
