In many respects it is. I did certainly imply it’s subjectivity when a user remarked elsewhere in the thread seal canvases v children scribbling on walls. To the hypothetical person, they don’t see the latter as art. I, personally, would, because art is inherently expression through a medium. Granted, to different degrees, I don’t find them equal art, but art nonetheless.

I don’t think, in the context of the parent thread, that AI slop is at all in line at all with art through activism/expression. It’s lines fed into a machine, that the user did not make, and the machine pores over data that the user did not log, and uses existing art that the user did not create, and outputs a video based on prompts that the user barely lifted a finger for.

It’s not expression. It’s data output.

What I just did in respect to the comment you replied to was ask a question to a different user, so I don’t really understand the context of your question.
