Yeah, not arguing with you on that. But because I am roughly insensitive to the aesthetics, I need another criterion, such as the amount of effort, to appreciate art. To my wife's or family's despair, who don't understand why I can not appreciate art solely for its intrinsic beauty.

I'm probably exaggerating, but the above captures a big core of truth.

Artistic talent is differently apportioned. Some singers seem effortless in their ability, while I sound like a croaking frog and would only be sonorous with great effort (probably never actually something you want to listen to).

The amount of effort put into art is not a great gauge of the artfulness.

A person who is naturally beautiful is not less beautiful than a person who was hideous but put a lot of effort into getting fit.

Does finding out something was made by AI make you like it less?
