There's a lot of consumer/commodity notions about art in this thread.
I write poetry because self-expression helps me appreciate life more deeply. I share my self-expression with others who will appreciate it. Mostly, people who know me personally and other poets.
Art is soul food. Until machines realize they exist, and one day will not exist, they can't self-express, and aren't doing art.
They can imitate it well enough to fool consumers. But that doesn't make it art.
To quote one of my favorite lines, sticking feathers up your ass does not make you a chicken.
