It wasn't even done for the sake of art, it was for the sake of ML and the careers of the researchers and engineers working on them. It's less understandable than people dismantling centuries-old monuments built by ancient kingdoms and republics that they could no longer relate to, like the Parthenon or the Pyramids, for masonry, this art and these artists formed the basis for the culture they were immersed in. The biggest shifts propelled by us millenials with the aid of technology have been... getting billions of people addicted to social media engagement, and making robots do creative work rather than humans. Hopefully, history will judge us harshly.
