Absolutely!! In the last years I’ve reread Beowulf and the Art Of War, and read Gilgamesh, The Water Margin/Heroes of the Marsh, a half dozen good books on Japanese tattoos, 2312, Artemis, two books of Viking mythology, and 3 books of Japanese horror/mythology….I would recommend all….so clearly they’re bad.

This is why the "monkey selfie" photo controversy of a couple of years ago (damnit, it's 10 years!) baffles me... it's not always the artist, it's often the editor that spots the art. I can take 60 shots per second of the waves on the coast of a lake, but that doesn't mean I should own the copyright on the one that happened to look great at 01:05:51.304 on 26/11/22.

Conversely the inverse may also be true.

Art is art. Don't tie me down, baby.

hmmm.

Midjourney definitely has a *look*. It's impressive but I swear it can really only do a couple of pop art and fantasy styles well and that's about it, at least for now. This video is definitely a good use of it.

True, but not very many of them. The communist presidential candidate got under 50000 votes nation wide….still too many.
Also true, the far right thinks fascist dictatorship is better than democracy…the unapologetic neo Nazi white supremacist Republican candidate for the US house in Illinois, Art Jones got 57000 Republican votes in one district, 25%. I hate Illinois Nazis.
