    If art is simply a “commodity” then machines could make it cheaper.

    I don’t think art is just a “commodity”. I don’t think it’s value is simply in being traded and sold.

      Good point! The word commodity isn’t the best word to describe art, so maybe a better way is to just say that ‘I think that the perceived value is on the rise, because of a human reaction to reject the capitalist’s attempts to transform the collected stolen expressions of human artistic achievements into whatever meaning the wealthy desire without the need to pay those who made the “generated” art possible.’

      please excuse my wordiness, I am procrastinating and got lost in this reply accidentally.
