      > Del Toro then took a serious tone as he acknowledged that “we are, unfortunately, in times that make this movie more pertinent than ever because they tell us everything is useless to resist, that art can be done with a fucking app, and we are facing things so formidable.”

      > “But I feel and I think, like the girl Ofelia in ‘Pan’s Labyrinth,’ if we can just leave a mark, if we can put our faith against our faith and our strength against our strength, there is hope,” he continued. “And the last thing we can have is to give to one of the two forces: we can give to love, or we can give to fear. Never, never, never give to fear.”

      You can absolutely make art with an app, digital illustrators do all the time, 3d modellers etc

      With an algorithm though? No.

    3. i’ve seen plenty of good ai art. Most of it is indeed slop but there are creators who utilize these new ai tools to great effect.
