I'm noticing this happening with music a lot lately. AI music is getting quite good and most people can't tell the difference (90%+ according to some loose studies).
There's lots of people who enjoy a song and feel a thing, only to become quite upset when they find out it's AI or has AI elements. But it leads to an interesting question that you're getting at: does it matter?
There was a song I loved back in the 90s, and one day the artist gave an interview and essentially said they hated the song and it was written as a joke to see if idiots would like anything. Turns out they were correct.
Every day the music sweatshop that is Nashville, Tennessee churns out hundreds of popular songs that people love all over the world. Many of them aren't about anything in particular... just a room of 4 guys finding words that rhyme so they can send a word doc over to the person who's going to sing it before they can break for lunch.
My point is, even knowing all that, 99% of people probably don't care. They just like the song. If it sparks something inside them, is it a problem that it came from somewhere insincere?
And if it doesn't matter that it came from somewhere insincere, does it matter if it comes from a robot?
