AI - Not Art if generated by AI?

I know there is an uproar about AI text-based or text generated art, not being art which was an argument when you with mixed-media.

I do understand where the artists are coming from, due in part because I dabbled in Art with pencil and pastel sketches and then Graffiti as well, because it can take anywhere from 2 minutes to an hour to get the AI to render something the way I intended it.

An artist could take weeks, months or years to get to their voice on canvas or walls.

I must admit that I enjoy it and continue to do it in order to see what it creates and tweak tweak tweak until I grin from ear to ear.  Some of the AI out there is being used and abused e.g. ChatGPT in order for some sort of gain and ill gains, like with anything people try and push pull until they have reached their limits or they get bored and toss it out like an old rag.

I like to hold onto tech and apps, so I'll continue to generate/create until arthritis or Parkinsons kicks

Adidas NMD_S1 X PHILLLLLTHY

Where is Peter? Jassis, I am sure he could have organised these at a discounted price.

These should be called Storm Trooper Trapperrrs, but it is the #adidas NMD_S1 X PHILLLLLTHY's.

Schweet sneaks.

Need to find Peter..... #findingpeter

Takkies like these makes me wish I had a hook-up with Adidas that allowed me to grab 12 pairs for the year and just push them to their limits which means that I would push myself to my limits (which I think we all need after the last almost 3 years of C19).

I love sneakers, but I will probably get divorce papers

I really do love #takkies #tekkies #sneakers or whatever you want to call it.

Like many, Saturdays (during the 80's and 90's) I  would hit the "streets" in search of #kicks nobody had.  Hours and hours of just walking and browsing and having the Ballie who owned the shop, checking you out because he was sure he saw you at half past this morning and now it's 2 in the afternoon now.

I doubt that those #shoes would be valued at a Mil, but they made me feel like a millionaire on my #voetebike and some of them were rare like 2 pairs of Onitsuka Tiger's.  Someone actually bought a pair of the #onitsukatiger takkies (the journey of the ASICS brand started off humble) off my feet and I had already been wearing them for a year.  I made a #profit off those (300%), but maybe my million Dollar collection could've started there like this one?
