>>17454829NTA, just curious. Most AI for consumer use only produces about 4 samples. What if you used a professional AI and sorted through 200 examples until you found the perfect one? Is that procurement process not art, the same way a band can pick through multiple recordings of the same song to find the best version to use?
Any idiot can go to Suno and type in "Write me a country song about making an omelet", and it might be humorous, but it's incredibly low-effort - just like filming outside of your front door, and not applying any filters or changing any other settings, is incredibly low-effort. If you wrote the lyrics yourself (or AI-generated but heavily edited them), but you're no singer; you have a melody in mind, but you can't play any instruments; you could use AI/tools to make an entire song without needing to spend thousands of dollars to hire professionals. That's still art to me.
To me, Art isn't just who/what produced the final output, it's effort+influence+process. Taping a banana to a wall isn't art just because you did it yourself, it's art because it's so low-effort, low-influence, shitty process that the absurdity of it all wraps around like a horseshoe to become art. Being so shitty means it insists upon itself. But otherwise, it's not art at all.
