Yeah. I do change my opinion of the piece. Same when I find out something is ai.

If you see or read something amazing that really speaks to you then it shouldn't matter if you find out it was created by a dog wiping it's ass on canvas, a cat licking a keyboard, or a particularly talented rock. If anything I'd be more impressed that a fucking rock managed to create something I found so amazing.

I care about the words or images themselves. The meaning and beauty I find in them. Not where they came from. You should think on that stance a bit more. It seems awfully sad to go through life willing to instantly decide anything and everything you enjoy in the world is suddenly awful and worthless if you find out it was made by someone or something you don't like.

I hate AI and think it should be destroyed and never attempted again. But that doesn't mean art doesn't have value in itself, even if I can't stand the person or thing that created it.
