What is an "art director" though? We're talking about artists. There's a reason they don't share the same title and everybody knows it.

Auteur theory exists for good reason. Good art cannot be imagined merely in the mind, only self-flatulating bullshit can. One must engage and prove and iterate and exercise all the unlikely leaps that must be made to go from medium to meaning to detail. Image generators are just shitty art directors and neither is practicing art.

How glib. In the future, when avoiding addressing everything someone says, you can save yourself some time by not entering the conversation thread.
