Wringing our hands so much about the art as Art. This thing in general where people feel the need to validate or justify AI art in the same terms one does other art is like the antithesis of anything you could remotely call the avant garde.

It all smacks of precisely the kind of thing he hated, or at least tried to distinguish himself from.
