So we keep seeing this cycle where some cool new AI doodad - instant music, instant images etc. - makes the Internet lose its mind and then... people stop caring.

I think there's a long-standing myth that what makes humans happy is beauty. I think of for example, Bellamy's book "Looking Backward" where he imagines in the year 2000 you'll have 4 radio stations you can listen to any time playing music as the height of human joy.
