    Taking a shit in a zip lock bag, or duct taping a banana to a wall is not art.

    It’s fucking lazy, pretentious, bullshit.

    A literal circle jerk.

    Not everything has to be Monet or Robert Frost, but there HAS to be a vehicle of creation, a filter passing through the artist.

    Screaming obnoxious sounds and saying it is singing, or placing a random object on a surface is not art or commentery, ESPECIALLY when the discussion is focused on “what is art”.

    Art can be proactive, controversial, or just a simple expression. But it has to have a purpose outside of “is it art?”.

    Otherwise everyone claiming AI slop is not art, is a hypocrite.

      The fact that you’re upset about this kind of art means it’s working :)

      It’s fucking lazy, pretentious, bullshit.

      You don’t know the thought process that lead to it.


      Now where did I put those ziplock bags?
