The article discusses the art world's embrace of absurdity through works like Maurizio Cattelan's "Comedian," juxtaposed against the resistance to AI-generated art. As postmodernism has blurred traditional boundaries of art perception, the influx of AI art forces the art community to reevaluate its own principles and definitions. This internal contradiction questions earlier beliefs where context largely defined art, challenging why AI-created works are oftentimes dismissed as derivative or gimmicky despite the art forms they echo.
If postmodernism has taught us anything, it's that originality is an illusion, effort is irrelevant, and meaning is subjective.
The absurdity wasn't lost on anyone - but that was the point.
