William S. Burroughs called photography “obscene and sinister”, while many 19th-century critics dismissed it as a “mechanical” activity lacking soul or a refuge for “failed painters”
Edvard Munch Dismissed the medium by stating, “The camera will never compete with the brush and palette until such time as photography can be taken to Heaven or Hell”.
Susan Sontag described photography as “soft murder” and a form of voyeurism, asserting it turns people into possessed objects.
And lastly
“This industry, by invading the territory of art, has become art’s most mortal enemy.” - Quote from 1859 about photography.
Strange, as the above quote sure sounds like it is about AI.
