AI circle debate: can artists who shun AI still be called great artists?
repligate · x · 2026-11-06
repligate sparked a debate by questioning the greatness of artists who shun AI: great artists aren't beholden to trends or afraid of being shunned, especially when the trend locks away so much beauty and strangeness. An artist who loves language models echoed, saying it's increasingly hard to belong in art communities where anti-AI slogans mix in hatred without articulating what's actually morally unacceptable about the technology.
