Fuck AI

Because, as a reaction to generative AI, so much emphasis is now placed on authorial intent, and the interplay of that intent and the process by which the artist realizes it. Such as being able to recognize a specific artist's mannerisms and read emotions into the shape of their individual brush strokes. Like in your previous comment:

I am creating what I see with my mind’s eye, using the sensibility and the motor control that I’ve developed through years of practice.

I feel as if 10 years ago the conversation was very different. I think back then if someone said "the most important thing about art is being able to see the imprints of the artist's will flowing from their mind, through their hand, and into the workpiece" people would immediately bring up something like Fountain and say that art can also lie in selection and the creation of context, not just in the creation of the object itself.
