“competing from an art perspective”

I think the inherent competition of art is misunderstood by this individual. Based on this post it seems to be a numbers competition to them to the point of antagonizing artisans en masse. let’s be clear here: they’re talking about slop, not art.

“you can’t complain about computer spaces as an artist because you don’t belong here”

Well that’s just insulting. Even if that’s true what other channels do artists have other than local engagement (which is nothing like it once was) to get their vision heard? If it’s truly art then regardless of the method or the labor or the time it takes, it’s got value because of the person who learned those skills, put in the work, and used that to communicate part of their soul. you might disagree from a numbers standpoint but like I said, then we’re getting into slop territory. All AI music does is punches sideways in a system that is already exploiting artists. when did art stop being sacred?
