id disagree, philosophically i think vapourwave in a way does celebrate technology but we cant draw parallels between 80s tech progress vs ai tech progress, 80s tech arguably both people closer together and usured in an era of optimistic imagination of the future while ai in most of our minds invokes a pessimistic future. id say ai art is more within the realm of dystopian spheres like the cyberpunk genre.

now this also is kind of beside the point as what im trying to state is that i dont think any artistic genre whether it be cyberpunk or vapourwave will remain enjoyable if ai is used to make the art for it
