A revived 1982 quote from experimental filmmaker Stan VanDerBeek: "If you were smart, I'd go out and buy computer graphics art because it'll be just like early photography—being rediscovered, with nobody interested." The poster quips it's "still kinda true," drawing a parallel to how AI-generated art is treated today.
