@Alec Hawkins Lately, I’ve been researching the AI art movement, and it’s just as legitimate as cars having electric windows. The number of vehicles with manual window controls will decline. Manufacturers influence our beliefs. Leap forward and now infotainment systems are standard in all cars. The market is the deciding factor for the direction of things. I don’t think ‘primate’ art will thrive in the future, even if I were more optimistic. Apps that instantly make people artistic are attractive because people love novelty. I speculate that sharing original art could lead to style being stolen and used in an app or as a special effect in a movie. Being silent will work up to the point until someone takes a reel or photo and shares it online. The good news Alec is we will know the truth when it happens. But it's healthy to talk about and consider how negative or maybe-superficial is a better word- aspects might effect things in the future. The last thing you mentioned is: is it a problem? No not really, I'll continue living my life doing something the old fashion way...like most older people do. One of these days maybe we will talk on the phone, I could just keep writing and writing...
