Bob Ross taught you that you could paint if you applied yourself. It wasn’t the domain of neurotic weirdos in the throes of creative agony, stabbing canvases in paint-splattered lofts to distract themselves from the super-gonorrhea they picked up from their last model: you could just sit down and paint a thing and enjoy yourself.
AI bros are claiming that they’re bringing art to the masses. Bob Ross actually did it.

The paintings were formulaic because the goal wasnt to create paintings but create painters.
Alternately I’d say the goal was also to paint more than to produce a painting.
