Nobody wants AI to handle our art and self-expression for us. We want AI to handle our tedious and mundane tasks so that we have more time for art and self-expression.

Yeah i agree it’s foolish to use it for self expression (unless it’s training wheels).
But I think the way to frame it is that.
We get to experience the expression of the AI. Not ours. But it’s expression.
And it’s built out of the collective of us.
