"art" in general is just as dumb as AI. People don't want to hear this, but a painting isn't worth 120 million dollars. I was once at an art show that had some amazing looking pieces. But at the same time there was a guy on stage who had. A bowl of spaghetti on a chair and he flipped the chair over and yelled: "hazzaa" and people clapped and talked about how provocative and great it was. One of my favourite museums has this huge painting that is just blue. Even when i was a child, i asked the museum guy what the point was, because everyone could do that. He was pretty defensive and explained that first of all, you can't just buy a canvas that big. Okay... Got it. Then he kept going: see, the artist didn't just paint it blue, he painted it many shades of blue until it was perfect. Okay... Got that too, but it wasn't even "perfect" it was kinda shitty. Of course that was the point, it had to look exactly like that. Ah got it, that makes it worth millions of dollars i guess.

I think I see this as more of a capitalism problem than an art problem. Capitalism attracts a problem crowd. The art bit is fun, I love this spaghetti man story
