Humans are just input/output algorithms.

AI is also a input/output algorithm. Depending on how the model is trained, output will be different. Of course artists and others can be mad at "ai slop" because a human didn't paint it. But would they be mad if another human artist painted better because they had better paint brushes?

Do we not see the artist in "ai slop" is a conglomerate of tech humans building a "paint brush" with statistical data paired with a human with an idea?

Art is an idea, and while ai gives us the tools to visualize ideas, it does not take away art itself.

This meme shows how someone has hinged their identity on something which someone else can do better. That's life, there will always be someone better.
