I think the best unintended consequence of ai generated images posing as art is that it makes me appreciate imperfect real art so much more, and because of that makes me appreciate my own art so much more.
i'm so fr btw, like i can draw some trash garbage, or paint something terrible, because I do not know how to paint, and never has it been more powerful and affirming to just recognize that I made something. with my brain and my eyes and my hand. It exists because my heart is beating and my neurons are valiantly firing to some extent, and I overcame the human fear of a blank page or canvas, and I put an effort in, like I've done thousands of times before, and every time it's different and new and there's something else to figure out or try or get frustrated with or be surprised by.
