I am an old man
and I yell at the clouds
Maybe generative AI
is just the further democratization of art.
Prometheus stealing fire
and calling it new
and calling it his own
like a printing press
that makes soulless crap,
or a camera
that gives access to those
who couldn’t…
give two shits before
but now they can.
They can give infinite shits
hot steaming torrents
from a new god’s colon
let all artists recline
in these growing fields of manure,
look up at the clouds
and yell out
‘til flowers
grow from our mouths.
