Could be performance art. But people did that before. Sneak into a museum and put something up. So it's not an original idea.
And I think the "without permission" holds true on several levels. I mean on the one hand they just put it up. And doing it with AI adds another level on top. I mean the AI companies are known for not asking for permission when they train their generative AI models. But I don't see this being discussed in the article. It'd probably be the only thing turning this into some form of art. An AI picture in itself certainly isn't art. Also like how the paper is wrinkled and it doesn't look good at all and "empty plate" is just a shallow in your face meaning and even I can tell how there isn't any art or deeper meaning to it. And most people I know who are close to art, and they're musicians or properly draw stuff as a hobby aren't really pro AI, I don't think I've ever seen them use AI or mix it into their works.
