AI being appropriated for neural nets which might even do things unrelated to what we think of as intelligence is annoying, I'll give you that.

What art is is kind of a huge can of worms, though. In any case, it's pretty clear they can satisfy potential clients a lot better than human digital artists, and that's where at least part of the butthurt comes from.

that's true but i'm passing positive that if you asked a hundred thousand people to define art not a single one would say something like

[art is when an algorithm is able to] satisfy potential clients a lot better than human digital artists

Agreed. The point being that people aren't really upset about whether it's art or not. They're mad about money.

And that's not exactly dumb either, making bread is important. It'd just be nice if it was admitted to.
