- Gwern, Review of Crumb:
Review of the 1994 documentary Crumb about the underground comic artist Robert Crumb ...
... I conclude that while Crumb is technically skilled & prolific, his work lacks depth and meaning, because they are literally thoughtless: the outpourings of his unconscious after a LSD-triggered psychotic break ...
... But they are analogous to AI art, and so deeply unsatisfying to anyone to has spent much time with AI art; Crumb’s success was a product of the unique cultural context of the 1960s, particularly psychedelic art, with its low standards for meaning.
Worth reading, even just for the parts about AI art and the importance of "depth" in art.
