Raw LLM Responses

Look, i love new technologies as much as the next guy. I consider myself a tech enthusiast and etc. But... Recently I went through a long journey on research and critical thinking to come to myself with the answer and proper arguments if "AI art" is real art. I'm a photographer and I take some pretty good pictures. But I don't consider my work or myself an artist. I embarked in this journey because sometimes it's pretty easy for us to just be bias against new things, to act with prejudice and etc. I started it pretty neutral but... When I went to some online forums of "Defendind AI Art" or anything like that, I saw a lot o people whit passionate arguments and discussions of AI being able or not to make art. But, you know what I couldn't see? Yeah, ART. In the end, what I saw was a bunch of dudes whit AI made ANIME GIRLS holding signs saying "AI ART IS ART"... Like, dudes art reference is HATSUME MIKO? REALLY? There are some outstanding AI art-like works like "Théâtre D'opéra Spatial" and etc. But what we usually see is a bunch of lazy ass midlife crisis dudes with some kind of self confidence problems finding excuses to call themselves "artists"... Honey, I know you probably had a absentee father or something like it and now you are starving for a feeling of validation (and honestly, so did I)... But if you are looking for validation in the field or art, I hate to be the bearer of bad news...
