Yeah. And the front cowling bleeds in to the fork, the boots are just a mess, all the perspective is wrong on the front wheel and fork. Idk how people tolerate these things. All I can see is the imperfections, and the more I notice the more I get drawn in to the emptiness of what is more or less just a weighted smear of noise.

I really doubt whether people who think these things are going to produce any kind of art beyond the most profane quick and dirty capitalist pap know anything about art or care. And not even in a "high art" or whatever sense. Just like, is the bike moving or stationary? No technique is applied by a thinking mind, so it's just kind of... a meaningless question. It's not a depiction of a bike. It's just a bunch of statistical correlations with some randomness thrown in. What mood is the artist trying to convey? Well, they're not. There is no artist. There is no intention. There is no mind attempt to depict or convey anything. The person entering the prompy may claim themselves to be the artist, which is vaguely like a photographer saying they created the mountain they're photographing. At most you can say you caught a particular rock face from an interesting angle, but that just brings us back to the nearly 200 year old question of whether photography can or should be considered art. And, for that matter, whether landscapes and still life's in general count, and why.
