I look at these works of art created by artificial intelligence and I think: yes, it’s beautiful, yes, it’s good, but… What’s the point? Where’s the story, where’s the work, if everything is so simple, then what’s the point? It’s no better than a store where you come and buy, although no, you come, take everything you need for free and leave. I don’t see any value in it, it’s just boring.
People said the same thing when Daft Punk went on stage just pressing buttons, and more broadly about all digital art. What if they were proompters? Proompt punk? Typing in prompts live? Would that make it not art? What if they used autohotkey to proompt with a midi to keyboard program like a stream deck? What if they used VSTs or digital synths instead of analog synths? What then? Is it art? Is it not art?
Find a better argument and I’m on your side. I have no horse in this race, no bias towards techbros (if anything, I have extreme bias against corpos), but I won’t support flawed ideas.
