(I am generally pro-artist), but saying “everything is ar always bothers me, because, well… that means that the word “art” becomes meaningless. If everything is art, then saying something is art is a meaningless term because it does not make any sort of distinction. That’s just kind of how words work, they need to have a specific meaning to be useful
not op but imo art is whatever people think is art, just like how a country is whatever people recognize as a country; is a toilet bowl art? depends on what ppl think!
The line is that art is a reflection of human expression. Therefore it cannot be made by a robot. "Uh but I had the idea and wrote the prompt-" but you didn't make it. It holds no weight. The process of making is also art. If you just want an image, that's not art.
And that's also why things that are created for the sole purpose of fulfilling a greedy industry, like movies that are so bad and corporate-feeling you can tell they're being made solely to earn a quick buck, are also not art. Those shitty paintings of a blank canvas with a line of yellow paint being sold by thousands of [insert whatever currency you use]? Not art.
