    The way the corporations have used…

    This is true of everything under capitalism. And it doesn’t mean the art is slop.

    For example our phones are made by slave labor but nobody is posting memes about how all phones are slop. Maybe they should do. It would be a better cause than crying about generated art.

      I’m not sure I’m convinced by your argument. It seems to boil down to:

      • Thing A is bad.
      • Thing B is also bad, but you didn’t say anything about that.
      • Therefore thing A is not bad.

        System A is bad

        System A produced Product 1 and Product 2

        Product 1 and Product 2 are therefore bad because they were produced through System A

        Criticizing Product 2 without criticizing Product 1 is an incomplete analysis; and criticizing either Product is foolish because System A is the cause of the issue

        System A must be destroyed in order to prevent it from creating new Products that will be bad, and to undo the badness of the existing Products.

        System A is capitalism
