Arguing in good faith - could you link me to some "good AI art" that's supposed to change average person's mind? I personally shrug off AI-generated image, and always think it's lazy cope-out. Because "it feels that way", but also, it technically is true?

Funnily, I only apply this logic to AI-generated images for the masses. If someone does it in one of my group chats, I'd think of it as "ok you spent some time for a small audience, i respect that, here's your well-deserved chuckle". It might be my age speaking out, as I grew up in "organic free range internet, full of ridiculous under construction gifs". But I really struggle to imagine a future where most adults would say AI-generated art can generate any emotions.

I thought the AI art was okay, actually! For AI art.

For me it's contextual. In the case of engineering presentations in particular, I'll live with some AI art if it means less reading off of fifteen-bullet-point wall-to-wall text slides. But I always prefer and appreciate non-AI art – even stock art, if employed judiciously.

If, say, a consultant or outside speaker brings in a dripping-with-AI-art slide deck to talk about AI – now that I consider the height of cringe.
