THE MODERN INFINITE MONKEY THEOREM
In contrast to the arduous, soul-seeking nature of human-made art, I see AI-generated art as akin to having an army of monkeys with typewriters at one's disposal. "Again, monkeys, make it better! Make it crayon style! Now make it Picasso style!" And so the monkeys feverishly output masses of images, grasping for a dataset that tells them how to emulate "crayon" or "Picasso". Once our discerning human eye is satisfied by an output, we pat the monkey on the head for a job well done. The 'infinite monkey theorem' is fiction no more; they live in our phones and computers and we can ask them to generate anything!

MarionGPT is a contemporary art project where I find AI-generated images and create my own free, public domain artworks inspired by their prompts; in essence attempting to "steal" AI's job.
