- Alchemists in medieval times attempted to transmute lead into gold, believing it would bring wealth.
- Gold's value is tied to its rarity; increasing its supply would decrease its worth, similar to how salt became less valuable as it became more accessible.
- Modern 'alchemy' involves creating art with AI, but the overabundance of AI-generated content is making it less valuable.
- AI-generated art lacks the human element—struggle, story, and soul—that makes traditional art meaningful and interesting.
- The market is flooded with AI content, leading to public aversion and devaluation of such works.
- Art's value lies in its human creation process; AI cannot replicate the unique, personal touch that connects audiences to the work.
- While AI may displace some creative jobs, mass-produced AI art will lose its appeal and worth over time.
