@GaryMarcus @tmorello You often resort to ad hominem attacks like 'you’re not an artist' or rely on status and proximity to others. But those aren’t actual arguments.

@GaryMarcus @tmorello Are you? Which art did you master exactly?

You just read the headlines like all consumers. Cubism was based on Paul Cézanne, African and Iberian art and other precedents.

You just don't know, because you are not an artist. You believe in magic apparently.

@alexutopia Picasso’s cubism wasn’t much like anything he had seen before.

@tmorello made a new kind of music - basically DJ music on guitar - that he had never heard before.

Sgt Pepper was inspired by Pet Sounds but didn’t sound like Pet Sounds. A day in the life didn’t sound like any

@GaryMarcus Personally I don't see the difference. And I'm an artist since I can walk upright. Looking at these tools, all I see is them doing exactly what we do.

@alexutopia Often they connect ideas that haven’t been connected before.

And they draw on their experience.

The statement is part of a broader conversation about art and originality, engaging in a debate about artistic influence and creativity. It addresses public concerns about the nature of art and originality, thus constituting public discourse.

  1. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement criticizes the other party's posts as baffling without resorting to personal attacks, maintaining a focus on the topic of artistic concern. However, it could be seen as dismissive, which slightly detracts from constructive dialogue. [-1]
