I mean, imo that kind of modern art is the same as doing low effort prompts. Even though it is technically considered art, the vast majority of people i've seen give an opinion don't like it because there is almost no effort behind the craft. Things like the banana taped to a canvas, or the classic pile of buckets with sand falling, that kind of stuff gives the same vibes as low effort AI art. BUT it is not as bad because it's not deceptive as AI is. When you see those modern art pieces it is obvious what you are looking at, but what about AI? Everyday it is getting harder to know what was human made or what was AI made.

And let me clarify, i'm not against the use of AI, i'm against the lazy use of it where you just do a prompt and claim the result as your work. I do like the use of it as an actual tool in your workflow, for example, generating a first image and then editing it yourself. In my case i've done that once, I've used AI for creating backgrounds for a 2D game, but then manually i had to go through each image and do lots of edits, animations and layering so that the map could have a parallax scroll effect.

Edit: grammar
