There is no artistry. […] It’s all a bunch of fake stupidity and I can’t understand why anyone would care at all about this, much less deign to critique it from a feminist perspective. It doesn’t seem worthy of spending the time analyzing it to that degree.

I really don’t get this take.

If they’re crafting prompts and iterations they are crafting. If they’re crafting them according to artistic concerns on the output, there’s artistry.

It’s a different kind. But I don’t see why it would be immediately disqualified just because it’s something different.

It’s much closer to creative/producing arts than it is to classic beauty pageants.

I don’t care that they did this. I just can’t see why anyone would pay attention.
