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.
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.
So by your own admission skill is what makes art art. Taping a banana to the wall is a zero skill act so that’s not art. Typing “make a picture of a banana taped to a wall” into an text box has skill? Working as an artist also means that you aren’t creating art, but that’s exactly the point of the AI slop machines; an attempt to demonetize a skill and save money for businesses. I feel like you’re arguing to argue at this point and doing a very poor job.

That’s all it takes, huh?

have a read before you defend modern art
I’d like to know the point you think this link is making in this conversation. 🤨
that dumbass shit is not art, and isn’t art because some idiot curated it into a museum.
By all means, tell us what art is then.

Art is about thought, not skill.
Skill is required for craft. Can art be well crafted? Hell yeah. Does it have to be? Hell no.

I see. So you truly do not understand art to the point where you can’t even make a coherent argument supporting your position on it.
Glad we sorted that out.

Citing yourself is not going to change the fact you don’t know what you’re talking about.
