Watched a guy at the Denver art walk sell $300 prints of AI prompts he typed in 10 minutes, and I've been rethinking my whole stance since
I stood there for 20 minutes watching people hand over real cash for pictures he didn't even draw, and now I honestly can't decide if that means it's art or if it just means buyers don't care who made it.
Man, the part that gets me is the 20 minutes you stood there. What were the buyers actually saying to him while they paid? Like, were they asking about his process or what inspired the piece, or was it just straight up "cool, here's my card"? Because that answer tells you everything about whether this is art or just a guy with a good hustle. If nobody even asked how it was made, they're not buying art, they're buying a vibe for their hallway. So did anyone in that crowd seem to care where the picture came from?
