Chat GPT summary when prompted to talk about the lionisation of art:
"In summary, AI's role in making art more accessible is indeed a positive development. By removing barriers and providing opportunities for engagement, AI can contribute to a more inclusive and diverse appreciation of art, empowering individuals to explore and connect with the artistic world in ways they may have thought were unattainable."
