Think about who is driving this conversation. By and large it is not organic user feedback as it is employees The Lens marketing team is manufacturing this perceptual divide in an attempt to win net new users; punching up at the more successful service. I don’t believe it is a reflection of the reality today, but them trying to shape the future

It is a reflection of dwr’s contempt for artists and their opinions of his protocol and client. Why do you think dwr used AI generated images for all the commemorative Warpcast or token artworks? Revealed preference: art isn’t important enough to hire a human to make something cool for our culture here

I feel like that is a personal resentment. It’s not borne out in the product, where I have seen over time how Warpcast has become much friendlier to visual image display and also supported pretty effortless one click minting. If Dan hated artists he would design a product that diminished the work and made it harder to get paid? A silly commemorative nft has no bearing

a silly commemorative artwork lackadaisically shit out reveals a lack of concern or taste for art as well as a lack of concern over what feelings this will invoke in all the artists who use and stan the protocol daily

But there have been partnerships with artists too? Ie https://gallery.so/katherine/2deemf33Ix7FQNzgRm25h3JXOye/2deeWyz7fNuAHH2lDVUhwcPWPc9 I don’t think being anti AI art is a common viewpoint among those most likely to participate in decentralized social, and I am not certain I can say for sure that they were lazily made. I simply don’t know. Often when people say Farcaster sucks it’s masking resentment from not getting the reception, accolades, and money they felt they were entitled to. Not a reflection of the product itself. Lens is eager to capitalize on these personal grievances
