Wait, your buddy was at a bar in Austin and just launched into a full rant about AI art? That's a pretty specific topic for a random night out. Did people actually listen, or did they just go back to their beers? I've seen people get heated about sports or politics, but digital art ethics is a new one for the bar scene.
Wait, he was in Austin? I'm stuck on the fact that someone chose to yell about AI art instead of, you know, enjoying the live music. That's a special kind of commitment to the bit.
