Apparently hot take: being proud of AI (heavy scare-quotes) """art""" you (especially heavy scare-quotes) """""made""""" is kinda like being proud of art you commissioned from someone else, except at least with the commissioned art, you gave an actual artist money, and someone had to put in actual time and effort worthy of pride. If you tell an image generator to make an image, you did not make anything, much less art. You do not get to be proud of it.

(NB: There is nuance here I cannot fit into a 500 character post surrounding things like "being proud of commissioned art" and picrews (which I suppose could be considered an "image generator") and such. This is just me being pissy over image generation algorithms like DALL-E. Thank you for your understanding.)
