Automation is great, I love automation.

If the end consumer cannot tell the difference and interprets the AI-produced facsimile as the real thing, there is no effective difference
Do you truly believe that the purpose of art is to be consumed?
Some of it is, yeah. For example I would have absolutely no qualms with AI generating communist propaganda en masse.
Also you do realize that you can still create art in a communist society even if art made for consumption is mostly automated, right?
