Calm down.
Is every painting, drawing, story, etc. ever created by anyone 'a monument to humanity's vanity'?
No, but taking most of the collected creative works humanity has ever digitized and distributed electronically and literally making an engine to compile it and puke out ai generated derivative human works on demand certainly is.
Trying to commoditize and mass produce the intrinsically elusive spark of human creativity is the height of vanity, and the often horrific results of it aren't at all surprising.
Yeah, because a guy eating pizza at the beach would be the pinnacle of human creativity otherwise.
Humans are mostly not creative, they copy and adapt what they've already seen. Don't jerk yourself too hard, otherwise you'll create Pollock paintings from chaffing.
These guys will jerk off to their moral superiority on this subject for years to come, it's best to just ignore it and move along and do whatever the hell you feel like with the technology that's available to you if it makes you happy and doesn't hurt anyone (inb4 IT'S LITERALLY KILLING ARTISTS IN THE STREETS!)
