I'm aware this sounds like a "no true Scotsman" argument, but I said "would a football fan watch" and the people who would watch that are not football fans.

I don't mean to denigrate it though, what I'm saying is that media would be serving a totally different purpose than the one served by professional sport today.

I guess, people are very varied, there are probably SOME strange people who watch football today with a motivation that's compatible with AI.

Also, this doesn't mean AI football wouldn't be useless. And there could even be people who watch both, since they could scratch different itches. I said I "don't give a shit" about AI art but that's not really true, it's useful, I'm glad kebab shops get a cheap way to decorate their menus. I'm sure people are getting porn generated that matches their incredibly bizarre kinks and I'm glad they get to jerk off better than they used to.

But I guess what I really am sure of is that AI can't REPLACE human art any more than it can replace football.
