so, original thread is here, if you want to experience the borader context: https://twitter.com/soncharm/status/1725283757291188323
In a way, I love this thread, because the original poster is just completely oblivious to like
art, the concept of it
in general.
And I think this is exactly where the quote of 'Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away' - yes, you can keep adding to the scene, but to what end
At the risk of reading too much into this - it betrays a most base-line approach of "art is supposed to be pretty and decorative" mixed with kind of a... refusal? to want to be confronted by something more complex.
but also the "but you see, it's not that i don't get it, i just told the ai to parse and re-generate the image" defense where like
mate, you actively espouse the virtues of the cloud-word genertated kitsch - it's your art literacy that's under question
all in all, the thread itself is art in a way the OP could never conceptualize himself
