im not sure i agree.
i've heard similar arguments against rap music that it's not actually music or that producers aren't musicians if they sample. people always try to diminish new forms by being elitist
I think that art can be defined as a creation that elicits an emotional response. The method of creation has little to do with it.
Whenever digital artists started becoming a thing, they were gatekept as well.
If ai art makes you upset it's art. People who argue that ai art isn't art are having an emotional reaction thus it's art.
i experience an emotional reaction when i step in shit too
Isn't that the, all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares, sort of thing?
If you step in the shit created by the Cloaka art system, is it still not art?
by that i mean - that an emotional reaction doesn't make something art
