How dare Dali paint pictures with melting clocks! If the clocks really were hot enough to melt, they would set the tree they're melting on ablaze!!!!11

I get it. Artists are afraid of their income. But with those kinds of takes, "AI bad because surrealism" I can't take you seriously as an artist so I guess nothing would be lost.

Surrealism is not nonsense. It has a purpose, even if that purpose is hard to tell. If you think Dali and AI slop is the same, you don't understand either.

Fine. If it's offending your senses too much to be tame surrealism, call it dada. If you think that replacing a person with an object cannot be an artistic choice, you... well, haven't seen much art.

Note that I'm not arguing for or against AI here. I'm saying that your critique of AI is slop.

Literally nobody is saying or thinking that. What we are saying is that there is absolutely no way that OP's prompt contained "...and make the optimist BE the glass itself...".

The irony is that you're giving OP way more benefit of the doubt in your reading of what they produced than you've given me, and instead argued against a complete strawman.

So what? It's still a choice to keep this result, and not another. Artists capitalise on chance occurrence all the time.

OP is not here to defend themselves. They're also not digging themselves further into a hole.
