The Oatmeal

Artists hate using it. Consumers hate consuming it And yet it thrives, like an Arby’s built inside a protected forest.

This whole comic nails it—especially that line. The only people excited about AI art are those who see it as some sort of tech bro hustle culture. But real artists, actual fans, and people already a part of these communities want and expect more from their art—even if they can’t always tell something was AI. Art I about humanity and connection and no matter how good AI gets at replicating things (keyword: replicating), it can never connect on a human level because (and I hope this is obvious) AI will never be human.
