Oh my god I thought I was the only one that noticed this. People stereotype science and math people as being anti-humanist or unappreciative of the culture of art but in my experience people there are far more "rounded" compared to tech spaces, its such a culture shock.
I would speculate that science and math communities are formed much more around university education than tech is. University education has elective classes and the exposure to others is much greater than if you learnt your trade from blog posts on the internet.
Why do you think there is so much excitement about AI art?
