OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently shared profound insights on the relationship between artificial intelligence and artistic creation. He believes that AI will eventually reach a "perfect score" in poetry creation, as he calls it, but this technological achievement may fail to resonate with most people.

Altman's core argument is that: The value of art lies in its "human origin." Even if AI can create technically flawless poetry, it may appear lifeless due to the lack of genuine emotional depth.

He used chess as an analogy:

"Although machines now continuously surpass humans in competitive levels, players still prefer playing against humans. The fun comes from competing with others, not with computers. Watching two artificial intelligences play against each other is really dull for most audiences."

Altman emphasized that this preference for human interaction also applies to art.

Prediction: The value of human-created content will significantly increase

Altman had previously made predictions about the value of content after the widespread adoption of AI. He reiterated that as AI-generated text and images become increasingly common, people will place greater value on content created by humans.

He concluded, "I predict that content created, approved, and selected by humans will see a significant increase in value." This suggests that in an AI-dominated future, human works infused with emotion, experience, and genuine judgment will become scarce and high-value assets.
