Kim Stiens @kimstiens.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I think people wrongly discount the creative content of AI-generated "art". It's like people think Suno is a single button that generates a random song. I'm sure you CAN do that, but it misunderstands how most people use it, and why, in favor of a vague sense that art = work 100
