    The parallels to film directing are uncanny. Idk why people consider that an art either. Not sarcasm, film directing isn’t art for the exact same reason AI images aren’t art.

      That would also make a corporate exec meddling with the production to meet their expectations as artists…

        Yup. That’s why I’m skeptical of directors are artists.

        Or, more accurately, I don’t think you can get a clear black and white answer about if someone is an artist or something is art.
        It’s probably more like a grey area, a sliding scale.

        I think we’re looking at this question wrong anyways. Anything can be art, this is just a tool and in the hands of an artist it will contribute to the creation of art.
        The question is: is this a net benefit for society? Is it helping new/hidden artists create art that they otherwise couldn’t? Or is it making the life of the artist harder by fucking up the job market? Both?

      “This artform that I don’t have a hope in hell of ever understanding is invalid… because I say so.”

      Better stop watching movies and tv and only ever go to your local playhouse for entertainment.
