I saw a gallery in Portland selling AI prints as 'original digital art' for $200 each
The shop owner told me the images were made with a new model and 'curated' by him, but the whole wall was just AI outputs with no human touch. It felt wrong because real artists in the same building are struggling to sell their actual paintings for half that price. Has anyone else seen galleries trying to pass off AI stuff as high-end art?

Saw an article about a gallery in New York doing that. They called it "algorithmic fine art" and charged even more. The whole thing is just slapping a fancy name on a bulk process. It devalues the years of skill real artists spend learning their craft. Calling it "curated" when you just hit generate a bunch of times is a real stretch.

Algorithmic fine art" is such a wild term for it. Reminds me of a friend who tried to sell his old video game screenshots as "digital landscapes".
