I didn’t say there was a causal relationship between being an edge lord and AI art— it’s definitely like a drain screen for nihilism, which is a world view that is attractive to people with nothing, but has repeatedly proven to be useful to nobody that isn’t already rich— the whole dog-eat-dog mentality is a lie many rich tell themselves to feel badass instead of fortunate, and a fairy tail many poor tell themselves to feel like they have more control than they do. Humans got to where we are because we were smart enough to cooperate to benefit our collective wellbeing, despite the people dumb enough not to realize that.

There’s no point in letting good be the enemy of perfect.
