> AI brought something fresh to art for a while,

What fresh new ideas did it bring? Most of what I see is generic AI slop pictures tossed in articles I mostly ignore.

I mean, I find some channels like this fun

While the pictures/videos are AI generated, there is a coherent multiverse that builds itself into a story over many videos.

Those unable to see or create the art in graphic design, photography, architecture, or writing...

...expect "tools of artifice" to help them discern between fresh and rotten.

Unaware how obviously fake and bad their "assisted output" is.
