I'm in total agreement: There is an awful lot of boring-to-bad generative art, and a smaller amount of strikingly good generative art. I like to contrast this with other financial drivers in the crypto sphere, like profile picture PFPs which are almost universally uninteresting despite their market success. There's also a lack of good editors to help us pick through the poop for the diamonds.

Thought provoking piece and very well written!

I don’t agree with every point (especially the one about the brush strokes as a primary connection point between the art, artist, and viewer. Yes, that adds a certain layer of depth and connection, but that is also not a requirement of art. It’s just one incarnation. Great poetry doesn’t require a pen stroke on paper for a connection with the reader, as an example.)

But many of the other ideas did resonate with me.

Curious what your take on Botto is?
