As an actual meatspace maker of oil paintings - AI excites me.

Someone can make a print generated by AI - and it will be beautiful I am sure.

So when someone wants a physical panting with impasto texture and painterly strokes… the “real” painters will for sure still make bank.

I mean - not me: I have only panted for 8 years and still “suck” - but I love it.

But Thomas McKnight will still paint his beautiful scenes and people will still buy them for what they are: art.

AI art is art. Meatspace art is art. Heck: I code for money. CODE is art. Software is art.
