my issue with the argument that “disliking ai art is inherently reactionary” is that it acts like pro-ai art people are somehow less reactionary on their views on art, when like the majority of defense’s of ai art as like a higher form art are indistinguishable from the arguments people use to defend the art of like. hitler

like the logic is that hitler was actually a great artist, entirely hinges on the belief that “objectively good art” is just art that looks detailed if you’ve never drawn before, which like why ai artists who want to prove their actual artists will just make a pretty looking building or lady, cause it’s all about aesthetics i guess

like i’m not saying your a nazi if you like ai art, i just think it’s silly when people act like anti-ai artist’s are just hysterical luddites, and that ai artists are the ONLY people who actually care about art, when 99 percent of ai artists on twitter only care about art that’s “beautiful” on an extremely superficial level.

Jacob Geller dissected the intersection of Fascism and modern art in 2020, sadly before the AI art boom, and goes into better detail than I can about how abstraction is a threat to fascist ideals. I also want to draw attention to possibly my favorite commentary on modernism.

AI slop only bring repetition and lack of original idea to the table. it’s an advanced form of stolen art collage. It seeks only to trace and multiply without provoking. It’s the anthesis of art.
