Over my fucking dead body

starting to think that 'AI art' and 'art made with AI' will be very relevant distinctions tbh. stuff in the recognizable lazy AI house style will probably always be low status and derided because the creators will be people who don't give a shit. well made art with AI will simply be considered art.

Weird genAI thumpers want to pretend that "it looks like shit" is the only argument to be made against it, so that if the software gets good enough then it's fine, it's art now. But like, no. That doesn't even crack the top 5 reasons why genAI is shit and should be deleted

It also betrays the most banal understanding of art and what art is for. The aesthetics as a product is what matters, and of course it's only a coincidence that fascists see it the same way

I saw an ad for the Adobe Photoshop ai and it featured a toddler using it to put wings on a cat and i thought "Yep thats right. It is just crayon level stuff" that said a child's crayon drawing has more heart.

Debating the merits of AI "art" is like debating the merits of Hitler's paintings. It doesn't fucking matter of it's "good" or not. The context is everything.
