Quoting the viral "bad art is better than AI" chant, X user SydSteyerhart flips the framing: bad art is worse than any dictator in history—tyrants maim the flesh, bad art maims the soul—whereas when AI art is bad, it's merely tedious.
The post is a provocative entry into the ongoing AI art debate over whether AI output even qualifies as "bad art."
