I’m not sure what you’re driving at. It’s true that the rise of photography had an effect on painting such that styles which moved away from realism became the norm for a while, but long since we’ve seen a shift back to realism and a continuation of detailed portraiture or landscape illustrative techniques among some artists.
My point simply is that people who lack the technique/talent to create “fine art” have come to believe their work is of no value, which I find upsetting because I’d much rather look at “bad” human-produced art than generated slop with the superficial appearance of fine technique.
You’re completely correct IMO, I was mostly blurbing about an event similar to AI. Back then you could finish a painting elsewhere thanks to a snapped photo, today people can prompt up a specific scene and train off of that one. IMO it’s just tools, but you’re right, some people believe they are artists just because they “prompt” up a hashed copy of the masters.
