        I take back my other fucking comment.

        The actual context is more damning. Bro, they are out here taping bananas to walls and selling certificates of reproduction. It’s literally “give money to get banana”. We should be so lucky if someone instead told a computer they liked waifus with big enormous tits and we put that in a museum, at least there’s some human desire in there other than “MONEY LAUNDERING TIME! SURE DUCT TAPE BANANAS”

        yes, and “I got paid $300 to take a photo of this model with enormous tits” is 100% the highest art.

            also, again, a prompt is prose is a vision. Yeah, AI is a wishing well, guess what, so are rougelikes, and people find good enough expression in them to play them and find some interest.

              If they want to make words their artform then they could. We already have words for that: poetry, stories, songs. The art is the words.

              If a prompt is art, then “make me a sandwich” is cooking.

                  Legitimately yes, it is art. I will accept a human being taping a banana to the wall of an art gallery (or whatever is the context of what you’re ranting) to be art long before clanker visual puree. You’ve never heard of performance art?

                    Which human being is doing the expression there? The farmer that grew the banana? The factory worker that made the tape? The intern being made to tape the banana to the wall while the art she pours her soul into does not help make her ends meet? The prompt writer saying “tape a banana to the wall of the gallery, like , in the middle, and make sure the tape is diagonal”? The money launderer paying for the operation?

                    You’ve never heard of performance art?

                    Yeah, I’ve been to metal gigs and theatre shows.

                    EDIT : I’ve BEEN ON STAGE
