  I’m sorry your life is so joyless and devoid of enjoyable art but its absolutely not true for the vast majority of us.

    Oh, I enjoy lots of great art! But do you think I watch every film? Listen to every band?

    Do you really believe, of all the songs that are written every day, that less than a third are crap? Even Taylor Swift doesn’t publish everything she does. Sometimes you work on something for weeks and then end up tossing it in the bin. More often, you work on something for 30 minutes before deciding “I’m gonna start over, try something different”. The majority of art is crap, but then you keep the stuff you think works.

    And what’s that expression, “good artists copy, great artists steal”. I mean, that’s a bit satirical, but the fact is, everything is derivative to some degree. It’s not that is l there aren’t new ideas, it’s just that our new ideas are based on older ones. We stand on the shoulders of giants (or at least, on the shoulders of some people who came before us).

    All I was really saying, was that the accusation “2 parts copying, 1 part crap”, well honestly that’s par for the course, that’s how humans work. (And we do some great work that way).

      You said regular art is 1/3 shite and 2/3 theft. Maybe math isn’t your strong suit but that’s 3/3 which is 100% so by claiming regular art is the same you’re saying all art is either theft or shit.

      It uh, it isn’t.

        I did say that, because this isn’t a pie chart situation, it’s a Venn diagram situation.

        For instance AI at is 99% theft and 60% garbage. It’s both.

        Stolen and bad aren’t opposites, why would this be a dichotomy?
