You are about to kick off an even more annoying debate about what is art and what isn't.

AI has solved "what is art" debates. Just point at the best image out of an image generator and the worst crafted anime picture by a 13 year old from deviantart. Art is the thing that's better about the latter.

Walter Benjamin did it 100 years ago. I love that the kids are taking about Aura in the slop age. But the real question is, "Is podcasting art?".
