I think it will be good for the current understanding of “art” to die. It’s a focus on ego while in an economy that only cares for pandering and selling out to those with money.

We need a new socio-economic system to balance all of the technological automation of the past half century, and quickly improving AI in the future.

With this, art will be ideas and preference. Deep thinkers will share the deep interactive virtual worlds that they find interesting or beautiful, and others can choose to view it or create their own more personal experience. Others will be like this guy and maybe get a habit for camping, who knows. None of it matters for most people until we can stop being wage slaves sacrificing their time and well-being to round off another dollar for the excessively wealthy.

Art will be fine. There will always be art with passion buried by mountains of pandering crap advertised by the rich, but a more egalitarian society might make more of a democratic platform for the Arts. Especially when good artists have the help of AI so they can compete with Disney/Warner money, and the labor it buys. Or compete with all the schlock/scam films encouraged by our current economy.
