I never thought much of Van Gogh’s work until my sister recommended I read Irving Stone’s novel Lust for Life. I loved it and did a deeper dive on Van Gogh and his contemporaries. Now, he’s one of my favorite artists.

For me, one problem with AI art is that there isn’t context for any of it. It’s just there and didn’t come from anywhere.

Eventually, some prompt engineer may build up a coherent body of work that is moving or provocative, but we aren’t there yet.

I like listening to Soundtracks, but if you've not played the game/watched the movie, it can be hard to get into it (Listening to NieR: Automata is a journey). Listening to one track is like reading one chapter of a book. It may be your favorite one, but there's something more substantial into consuming the whole work. I know people listen to music to set up moods, but everyone has that playlist/album where they listen to the whole thing just for the sake of listening. Or watch a painting for contemplation, not to judge whether it's beautiful or perfectly made. And that is why I can't enjoy AI generations. There is nothing to connect too.

P.S. I don't mind people using AI as tools, but the human agency needs to be visible and relatable. If it's only a prompt, don't ask why I don't value it.

I'm a soundtrack person too, and that is my point: you may like some tracks from a game you loved, and you probably have no idea whether or not the music was human or AI made.
