Discussions parallel Monet critiques with AI art reactions

Monet's work exists as the exact same thing that is argued about AI art. Impressionism was praised precisely because it was an early development in the field of growing art from the medium rather than dominating the medium. It was called the equivalent of slop in its time, "degenerate" was the favorite word. Impressionists and subsequent post-realism art movements explored what paint does when it's more freely let to ooze around, blend in weird ways, etc. - efforts that culminated in work like Pollock just splashing paint at things. The anti-AI art argument regarding "not enough control" is the exact same argument that was used by the realists against Monet. The anti-AI art comments on the Monet @SHL0MS shared are RIGHT! MONET IS SLOP! But INTENTIONAL and cultivated SLOP is art!
