Agreed. I'm not against AI, I use a local LLM for basic tasks. Still, I rarely get good output from a single prompt (factor not included in the study).
I hope authentic art will always have a market. I've heard adolescents can spot AI easier than older generations, I'd like to see a study on that.

Personally, I think attempts to quantify artistic expression to compare humans to AI will always be fundamentally flawed. I worry articles like this help justify devaluation of artistic endeavours. Sure, starving artists may use less CO2 than successful ones, but is that really an end point we want?

Great question. I get their point that AI energy use is often overstated and it can sustainably perform simple tasks. Comparing output quality and complexity would help strengthen but still reduces human creativity to over-simplified carbon footprint calculations and avoids broader social impacts.
