    Totally. But maybe one day you’ll spend 6 months prompting a fantastic movie, will that be art?

    SugarCatDestroyer posted a good idea for what art is IMO. It sure isn’t 5 minutes of prompting an image generator, but don’t throw it all under the bus.

      The thing is I don’t think a movie that was spent 6 months or 6 hours is worth watching. Because art has always has been about the human element in the development of culture. “prompting” is just tossing a coin into a vending machine made to attempt to privatize and control the free flow of that culture. “Generative art” is not a tool, it’s a medium. A medium made for corporations to completely control and regulate subjectivity. So yeah this medium, I’d throw it on the dumpster fire.
