AI is creating a 'human premium' for art created by people
BBC essay argues generative AI is creating a human premium for art made by people.
A BBC essay by Ros Atkins asks whether audiences will pay a "human premium" for art as generative AI floods creative media. Deezer says 44% of tracks uploaded to it are AI-generated; its research found 97% of listeners could not distinguish AI music, yet more than half said they care that humans made it. Economists and critics argue the human process itself is what people value, and labels such as "AI-free" are already appearing on some books, films and albums.
