I'm suggesting people can communicate with images regardless of who made them. What they're communicating does not have to resemble what an artist originally intended. Surprised Pikachu face.

You could pick ten nature shots out of some catalog, and tell a story just by arranging them in a certain order. If you later found out one image was generated - how would that change your story?

Can you imagine how funny it would be, if that 'I don't want your slop' image turned out to be made in Midjourney? Not one pixel would change, but half the people celebrating it would declare it never meant anything to them. How could it? It's not art. Anymore.

Meanwhile, Duchamp put a toilet in a museum. He didn't make it. He just signed it.
