The NFT bubble kicked off because techheads didn’t understand that the rest of the world doesn’t work the same way as art does.

The current AI art boom is driven, in part, by techheads who don’t understand that art doesn’t work the same way as the rest of the world.

Many artists say that there is something ineffable about artistic creation. Even if you don’t believe it, they certainly do, and the social practice of art would collapse if they didn’t. Art doesn’t play by the usual rules.
