Art started in caves.
Talking bollocks didn’t start on the internet but thanks for helping to refine it.

The Pope is making a claim about what art is, independent of who gets to make it. But my point is about access, and on that front, AI tools have genuinely lowered the barrier for people who never had the training, money, time, or physical ability to make images, music, or writing through traditional means. Someone with no formal art education, someone with a disability that makes traditional mediums hard to use, someone in a place with no art schools or materials, these tools let them give form to an idea they couldn't otherwise externalize. Dismissing that output as categorically not art, full stop, risks devaluing something that functions as real creative expression and real access for those people.View quoted post on X
