Will we? I will value output from people I personally care about, because I want to know more about them. But what about the other 8 billion people? Do you value their output because they are human or for some other reason?
Say there was a Chinese artist in a room...
I'm not going to bother engaging with online posts if they all turn into generated replies.
> Do you value their output because they are human
Their output does have intrinsic value yes...
In an abstract sense, I agree that I value human output because I value humans, even if I never see those humans or their output. But I only can process 10 bits/second, while there is probably a million times that much being posted to the internet. I simply don't have the capacity to care about it except in the abstract sense.
