Gatekeeping what is and is not art is an exercise exclusively for fools and assholes.

What does it matter how many steps lay between the fingers of the artist and the work of art? Is a photo less art than a painting? Is a photo from a wildlife camera not art? If I paint a mouse's feet and let it run around on a canvass is that art? Can art be unintentional?

AI art is about to lay utter waste to traditional visual art forms. This will be so much more destructive than what the Internet did to music.

See? Assholes. Whining that an explosion in creativity and accessibility ruined music.




Not just what is or isn't art, but what is or isn't meaning.
