A robot just ran the fastest 100 meters in history—and most of the seats in the arena were empty.

You will see the same thing with AI music, AI writing, and all the other areas of bot achievement. People aren’t interested in this stuff. They find it creepy. It shamelessly imitates human achievement but lacks all its inner meaning.

That’s why the future of culture will still be created by humans. That’s the bottom line no matter how many trillions of dollars are thrown at turning bots into artists.

It’s a shame that some of that money isn’t invested in promoting human creativity. That might make a real difference in our culture.
