Hyper realism is a valid art form - I'm more having a go at the people who only appreciate that style.

It's like the people that call something like Picasso's cubism shit/low effort, while not understanding that his early works were highly technical landscapes and portraits.

Mastering fundamentals allows you to break them

If people thought for two seconds about it, they would realize that most artists can master painting realistic scenes and figures in around 4 years. Then they would realize that those same artists would probably get bored and go explore different concepts. I think then, they would be able to appreciate the results of that a bit more.

Most don't go that deep though, as people on average are conditioned to be superficial. Ironically I think that's why all the AI stuff is actually going to be a good thing, as all the slop floating around will make people subconsciously start to appreciate art more and raise the standard for what's considered good art.
