Automation is great, I love automation. But the point of the article is that this AI tech is not automating writing, what it is doing is automating a facsimile of writing, and that to accept the output of these algorithms as equally valid works of art as those made by actual people is a damaging and nihilistic worldview.

If the end consumer cannot tell the difference and interprets the AI-produced facsimile as the real thing, there is no effective difference

Do you truly believe that the purpose of art is to be consumed?

Some of it is, yeah. For example I would have absolutely no qualms with AI generating communist propaganda en masse.

Also you do realize that you can still create art in a communist society even if art made for consumption is mostly automated, right?
