    Authors/artist intent matters about as much as a warm shit in a shoe when it comes to deciding what is or is not art.

    The literal only thing that matters is if the viewer thinks it’s art.

    Art is in the eye of the beholder full stop.

    The only thing author/artist intent is good for is scholastic endeavours. Valuable and useful in its own right, but the defining aspect of art it is not.

        You may call it fake, but even the AI is created by humans and are therefore human endeavors, just indirectly.
