What other people like or believe isn’t really any of my business.

I’ll tell you what I believe, though:

Real art should be made by humans. Human minds using human means to produce art informed by lived, human experiences.

I’d rather see an event flyer scribbled with a crayon than something made by a program fed prompt words and trained onto the stolen artwork of others.

Sooner would I go to an exhibition filled with cracked ceramics made by someone who had fun, than a person presenting walls of fake photography dreamt up by a machine.

Give me imperfection made by a person who has lived. Show me passion and ideas from your heart and mind. Spare me the artificially generated simulacra.
