This article argues that the true danger of AI-generated art is not simply its lack of originality, but its erosion of the deep human connections art helps create. While AI-produced images may mimic artistic styles, they lack the unique interiority and emotional transmission present in human-made art. The author warns that as AI-generated art proliferates, it threatens to undermine the social and political bonds essential to democracy by commodifying culture and diminishing opportunities for genuine shared experience. The rise of AI-driven creativity, concentrated in the hands of tech billionaires, risks alienating individuals and transforming human expression into passive consumption, rather than nourishing the soul and community as real art does.
