The tech anxiety Picasso felt in 1968 echoes loudly today. Modern creators are fiercely defending the human monopoly on questions.
For example, Australian singer Nick Cave has publicly said that AI could have a“ humiliating effect … on us as a species”, stating that its“ intent is to completely sidestep the sort of inconvenience of the artistic struggle, going straight to the commodity”.
