“No, I didn't know about the exhibit before that day. And then I saw the Al piece and it was just—as an artist myself, it was insulting to see something of such little effort alongside all these beautiful pieces in the gallery. It shouldn't be acceptable for this "art," if you will, to be put alongside these real great pieces.” What an impulsive fellow.

  I continue to be shocked by how hateful and nasty some of you are when someone doesn't wholly approve of AI.

      Oh, suddenly we _are_ concerned with intellectual property rights RE AI? Much as the image models consume the work of artists, so the artist consumes the product of the image model. It is merely natural justice.

        yep, the guy ate intellectual property. he sat down and ate a piece of ip, that's what happened. excellent reasoning my clever friend this is a silly place

They're right and this also reminds me of the banana that was sold and eaten at Art Basel.

Don't take him to the MoMA he'll need his stomach pumped.

  The MoMA has some of the best art pieces I've seen out of the hundred plus museums I've been to. It also has by far some of the absolute worst art pieces I've seen in my life - in person, or otherwise. One of them was literally a pile of trash. I used to think that art shouldn't have any gatekeepers, but I've begun to wonder if maybe it should.

In art one often follows impulses. Art is about expression after all. Plus, if these were really AI creations new copies can be printed. Unless the human “co-creator” did something like paint on the work after printing, not much has been damaged.

  Someone, somewhere is disappointed they didn't think of the idea of videoing someone eating AI art as an art exhibit first...

It's just garbage in garbage out. AIs reliably induce rage and negativity in humans. Humans become angry and violent if shown AI generated data. It's just a fact at this point. And it's not even like software engineers are special in that regard. Everyone here is quick to spot and express their opinions on use of AI in articles and everyone seem to like to have their words on rampant vibecoded pull requests. Freedom of thought and speech means you're free to expect people to thank you for spitting on them, and also that nobody else than you would be responsible for that insanity of yours.

  > AIs reliably induce rage and negativity in humans. Humans become angry and violent if shown AI generated data. It's just a fact at this point. This is more conditioning from moral panic mobs than an innate trait. One could also say that TV makes humans angry and violent, or we could simply stop watching cable news.
