Human-Made Art Endures Through Connection, Not Quality
Even when AI can produce superior art and music, demand for human-made boutique experiences will persist—not because the quality is better (it isn't) but because the value lies in human connection and community, as shown by attending a local live gig whose worth has nothing to do with optimal sound and everything to do with shared human experience; a robot playing guitar better than Hendrix wouldn't have the same vibe even if indistinguishable.

“if instead we'd had the local robot come in and right play the guitar better than play the guitar jimmy hendrix i don't think it would have had the same vibe and i don't think it would have done even if that robot were indistinguishable”
