Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The taped banana - now perhaps one of the most expensive fruits ever sold - was actually bought earlier in the day for a mere $0.35, according to the New York Times.

It's really just one of a limited number of licenses which allows the owner of the license to showcase the work and legally regard it as an official work from the artist who first came up with the idea. Anyone can tape a banana to a wall, but only a few can do so and say that it's an 'original'.

I don't know if I can trust the license. Any way to make it burn a ton of electricity to function?

  • who gives a shit if it's original or derivative
  • Tape a different fruit and it's now a new original

Do this as an institution you'll get nuked in court.

Do this as an individual nobody will pay to see it.

The more you complain the more it's worth.

People pay money to see it because it's controversial.

That's why it's art.

That's why I consider AI art actually art.

I agree, it's very absurd, and that's part of the point. It's also obvious too that someone gives a shit since they're willing to shell out millions of dollars for it. And as far as taping another piece of fruit to the wall, it unlikely to do well because with modern and conceptual art, it's all about who came up with the idea first.
