The internet has witnessed its fair share of wild takes, but xQc just might have outdone himself with this one. The popular Twitch streamer declared that AI-generated art has already surpassed most human-made artwork, sending the art community and basically the entire internet into a collective meltdown.
His argument? He doesn’t care about how art is made, only about the final product. "Why would I care? I don't consume the method, I consume the product," he stated, as thousands of artists sighed in unison. As expected, the reaction was swift, ruthless, and absolutely hilarious.
xQc Sparks AI Art Controversy with Bold Claim
In a world where AI-generated art is still a touchy subject, xQc’s comments poured gasoline on an already blazing debate. The discussion kicked off after he nonchalantly dismissed traditional artists, claiming that AI art is already superior to what most humans can create.
For artists who spend years honing their craft, this was the equivalent of someone saying, "Michelangelo? Never heard of him, but Midjourney is goated." Needless to say, Twitter (or X, if you're fancy) exploded with opinions.
The reactions were an entertaining mix of outrage, sarcasm, and pure comedic gold. Some people pointed out the irony of a streamer making such a statement, while others questioned if AI would eventually replace him too.
Sebas Pastor (@Sebvrtist) wasn’t holding back:
"Now wait until AI becomes a better streamer than you."
Let’s be real: if an AI ever figures out how to gamble on stream and yell into a microphone for hours, he might have a problem.
Angelica Reed (@Angelica_Reed1) summed up what most people were thinking:
"ofc he has the worst take imaginable like always."
We love the consistency. Never change, xQc.
"Bros a villain"
Meanwhile, Mike Dro (@MikeDro_) didn’t seem surprised at all:
"Wow, a gambling streamer with a bad take, who would have thought."
The sarcasm is strong with this one.
Then there’s AndyPants, who went straight for the kill:
"‘Artists’ need to get better if AI can put them out of a job."
We can only imagine the sound of a thousand artists collectively rolling their eyes at this take.
"The first time xQc is somewhat right about something"
While AI art remains a divisive topic, xQc’s opinion didn’t exactly win him any new fans. The internet is loud, opinionated, and always ready to roast someone who delivers a truly spectacular bad take.
At the end of the day, AI might be able to generate stunning visuals, but it still can’t capture the human soul behind true art. And judging by the reactions, xQc might need a reminder that hot takes can get you burned.
What do you think? Is AI art the future, or is he just farming engagement for the next viral moment?
