People have posted prolific artists, called it AI, and had everyone hating them until the big reveal. So to be frank, it probably is in your head.


Who are these “everyone”? I suspect that you actually mean “many random social media users”, which only proves that getting negative reactions out of the average social media is trivial; not exactly a groundbreaking discovery.


Art has never been about the objective quality of the work


Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't.

If it was never about objective quality, Plan 9 from Outer Space and The Eye of Argon would be highly regarded, not the butt of jokes and drinking games.

And those are the examples so infamous that they get to have the honour of being laughed at, there are many more which simply fade into obscurity from their ineptness.


William McGonagall produced some brilliant art - just not in the way he thought.
