**"It's not a Caravaggio."**
Everything is art, they say.
Even what you don't understand, even what bothers you.
Even what you can't touch.
Everything.
Except a poorly written prompt for a junk image generator.
Because giving a prompt to an AI
is like giving instructions to an untalented painter
and then being surprised that he didn't do a Caravaggio.
"But it's computer art!"
Indeed.
Like running 42 kilometers on the treadmill
and saying you did the New York City Marathon.
That's the distance.
But there was no crowd, there was no city.
There was no soul.
The artist is not the one who clicks "generate."
And no, the patron is not an artist either.
The real talent of the patron
is to choose the right artist, and then keep quiet.
He does not participate in the work.
He funds it, demands it, hangs it.
But the work originates elsewhere.
So what is AI art?
It is something, yes.
But it is not enough to call everything "art"
to make it sacred.
Sometimes it is just
a machine that obeys,
to a command without poetry.
