    Or, maybe, we have to accept that art and all the grandiose and deep narratives around it are bullshit. It’s an illusion, it’s just a tool so some of us feel more important.

    All that crap about not being made by humans is just the fear that the illusion of grandeur of humans might collapse.

        Art is in the act of creating it.

        This is just your opinion.

        Not in the final product to be bought and sold on the market.

        This isn’t inevitable or necessary.

        Personally I enjoy generated art (mostly scifi/fantasy) and I never pay for it.

        On the other hand I try to support actual artists because they’re most often struggling under capitalism much more than some person using midjourney or wahtever.
