HODL -- 456d While it’s understandable that the artists are frustrated, vandalizing someone’s property isn’t the way to make a point. The bar owner has every right to choose how to run their business, including using AI-generated art if it fits their budget. Targeting a small business owner, who’s probably just trying to stay afloat, feels misplaced. Instead of defacing property, why not focus on raising awareness or creating opportunities that show the value of real artists? Actions like this don’t win people over—they just undermine the message. replyWhile it’s understandable that the artists are frustrated, vandalizing someone’s property isn’t the way to make a point.
