Because the existing cultural understanding of art is that someone took the time to create what you’re experiencing. AI generated “art” subverts that expectation. It feels deceptive. Honestly it reminds of Duchamp’s Fountain and similar works, which some people hated for more or less the same reason.

I am not equating AI slop with Marcel Duchamp, however. His work and what he did was very much intentional to evoke the sort of reactions it did.

Moleskin is selling notebooks, not art. They happen to come with graphical elements, but I don't see them claiming those are art. So where is the deception?

> Moleskin is selling notebooks

When I need a notebook, I just go into a store that sells them and grab whatever they have. I have a notebook for logging my exercises and another one for random stuff, I have no idea what brand they are.

Moleskin sells fashion items. Or, maybe, an idea of a certain lifestyle. I'm not sure.

I’m speaking about negative reactions toward AI created imagery.

Come on, they're selling notebooks with art on them. Cheap, AI-generated art, passed off as premium.

And? I don't care. Is the art good or not? I'm not searching for someone to admire, I just want good music

You could even say that AI generated art is an experience that artists chose to not create.
