    You seem to equate the work an actual artist does to typing in a chat box.

    Books are just people typing onto paper.

        oh shit, I forgot, no, you gotta write a certificate of authenticity and tell someone else to duct tape a banana to a wall, now THAT’S art! Typing in “banana duct taped to a wall” into an AI tool isn’t art, but when you call someone to do it, THAT’S when it turns into art.

          You genuinely don’t understand art. That’s ok. Taping a banana to a wall doesn’t use a ton of electricity and wasn’t created by someone stealing the tape, the banana or the wall. Is it an amazing bit of technical artistry? No. It is, however, interesting if nothing else and noteworthy enough for someone with no understanding of art to use as an example.

                that dumbass shit is not art, and isn’t art because some idiot curated it into a museum.

                    people expressing their feelings or “visions” of a medium using skill within that medium. Taping bananas to walls is not art, since there is zero skill involved.

                    AI art is art the same way children’s drawings are art; they can be an expression of a feeling or a personal “vision”, or bullshit made with a desire to gain some kind of resource (social approval, money) at which point it becomes about as artistic as a fast food hamburger.

      Give infinite monkeys infinite typewriters and infinite time and eventually you’d have avengers endgame script.
