Generative AI is art. It’s irredeemably shit art; end of conversation. A child’s crayon doodle is also lacking refined artistry but we hang it on our fridge because a human made it and that matters. We care and caring has a positive effect on our lives. When you pass human creativity through the slop wringer, or just prompt an incantation, the result is continvoucly morged; a vapid mockery of the input. The garbage out no longer matters, nobody cares, nobody benefits.
