Art, in terms of creating a beautiful rendition of some part of the real world or even a fantastical but recognizable scene has not been a big part of the mainstream capital-A Art market for over a hundred years. Nobody cares if you can paint really well or whatever. Art schools churn out thousands of people a year who can do that.

Artworks since at least Duchamp have been more about some abstract concept rather than a nice painting.

Now if ChatGPT can churn out convincing BS about why taping a banana to a wall or something is a piece of revolutionary art, then artists will really be in trouble.

Or rather how you can sell some abstract concept to the paying public. The level of bullshittery in the arts is beyond the scale.

Well, if there's one thing that ChatGPT is good at, it's churning out convincing BS.
