People are pointing out that people are reacting to this like people react to "Who's afraid of Red, Yellow, and Blue" which to them proves that its subversive art.

And honestly... i cant deny they sort of have a point?

I realize im risking starting a struggle session here lol i just find the thought so fascinating.

I guess the art is in the trolling though, not the AI.

Likely, more people are going to learn about this piece as the result of the troll than at any point in the last ten years. Especially in the wake of COVID, art like this carries real power.

I consider it a net good, in so far as it is both raising the profile of a compelling message and illustrating the fumbling pointless mess that is modern AI art.

Extra bonus points because the top left corner has what is very obviously abstract representations of people in various states of celebration or play. The AI remainder has none of that. Stripping the life out of a piece of artwork in every sense.
