    To typical techbros, they only want more of what they already like and copy of a copy bleakness is a feature because they don't want to feel uncomfortable by seeing something too new, "political" or otherwise. The treat printers are working as intended for them.

    a generative model is trivially not an artist, but there's no reason actual (as opposed to marketing scam) artificial intelligence, if that ever exists, couldn't produce art.
