> Generative technology has already made artists begin to question and radically redefine the nature of art, Everyone else still knows what art is. The only reason artists grapple with it is because it's existential for them. Artists think of themselves as the gatekeepers of art but the only thing that qualified them for that (in their minds) was the ability to produce it. Now that everyone is producing generic entry level art (what most artists do anyway), they are losing their identity. The "What is art?" conversation isn't about art, it's about gatekeeping. | ||

What is art? > Artists think of themselves as the gatekeepers of art > The "What is art?" conversation isn't about art, it's about gatekeeping Can you answer that question without yourself being a gatekeeper? Your post definitely comes off as judgemental and gatekeeping about what art is. But what if you're wrong? The people pondering what it may be certainly seem to have a more open mind, being more considerate of all the ways that expression and significance can be found. | ||
