A widely quoted post says 900 people signed an open letter urging a museum not to display AI-generated art. The poster sarcastically calls it "a world-class performance" — arguing that art is about provoking reaction — and criticizes the attempt to ban artwork as being on the wrong side of history. The episode underscores the deep divide over AI art in the art world.
