AI will never fully replace humans in the realm of pure art. While AI has made impressive strides in generating art, humans inherently gravitate towards creations by fellow humans. This preference stems from our deep-seated connection to human experiences and emotions.
Consider the analogy of chess: AI can easily outplay the human world chess champion, yet we remain uninterested in AI-exclusive tournaments. The reason is simple—our fascination lies with human competitors and their stories, not with machines. This extends beyond chess to all forms of art. Whether it’s music, literature, or visual arts, the knowledge that a human mind and soul crafted the piece adds a unique layer of significance. It's not that humans are disinterested in non-human phenomena such as AI, the stars, or mathematics. There is a wide spectrum of interests among individuals, with some drawn more to human-centered pursuits and others to abstract or scientific endeavours. However, as a collective, human-related creations consistently hold a special place in our hearts. When a human plays chess, the essence of the game is enriched by knowing the opponent is also human. Similarly, when we listen to music, read a novel, or admire a painting, the awareness that it was created by another human being adds depth to our appreciation. This connection to the human aspect of art is, in my opinion, irreplaceable by AI. I can't prove this definitively; it is simply my perspective.
