Reposted by virus 🦊EvilToaster @eviltoaster.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I've seen a lot of programmers really disrespect themselves thinking that genAI is "fine" when it comes to coding or w/e because it's not "art" Programming is an art. It requires creativity. And you're literally programming graphics, it's visual art. It's just art. It counts. AI coding is AI "art" 151208346
