Can't believe I didn't see this until just now, but let's riff anyway.
Dada actually does want to replace artists. I'm sorry. It does. Read up on it, something just a touch more involved than a google search. Wikipedia can't prepare you for Dada either. Read the sources. Live them, let them rush over you.
It doesn't want to replace an individual artist per se, but it absolutely does want to replace the capitalist bourgeois system that artists work through. Sucking on the ample teat of the rich, begging for crumbs like you do. It convicts the art establishment that continues to collude with state and the ungodly machinations of power.
It wants to destroy your perception of art as a happy polished product of consumerism. It denies your protestant work ethic and your boring postmodern-baroque or expressionist understanding of what art is.
Dada wants massive volumes of cheap art to disrupt the markets. Dada wants art to be soulless and valueless. An object to scare and frighten the servile minds of its critics.
AI's are an experimental art tool, nothing more. It is not good or evil. It's free, open, and anyone can use it for free. This aligns well with Dada's views on accessibility. Dada is about no school, no aesthetic, no tool set. Dada doesn't care that you create, just that you as an artist are an instrument of change.
There is no "great replacement" happening in the art world, but if there was... Dada would support it.
Dada is not a safe, dead thing
Dada stands against capitalism and the commercialization of art. It scoffs at notions of ethics and your self serving morality. It challenges notions of authorship. Erring instead on the side of random chaotic nihilism.
Dada is not a safe dead thing you can learn about in art school. It either infects you, and influences you, and pushes you to action...or you don't get it.
You can't really understand what Dada is in context unless you also understand the crisis of painting (either the original, or the one we're in now) and the destruction of the aura as it relates to presentational art and film. Dada destroys the aura, without exception. Without apology.
But most importantly, the thing Dada absolutely hates more than anything else, is the smug gatekeeping of the art world. There is no possible way to be a smug gatekeeping fool, and imagine yourself in the good graces of Dada.
Dada indicts you, stand like you're singing hail to the king! Like you're saluting a flag. And it reminds you that you are nothing, like your heroes, and your values, and the art you create.
Dada is the inheritance of the malcontents of the art world. It speaks to our epoch. It is only about our times. But it is also nothing, and that's how we're going to change the world with it.
We are all nothing, and nothing will become of all of us.
Dada is nothing.
Dada is life.
