To me that doesn't inspire much beauty or feeling.

I wonder, Jaga if AI is going to make photo-realistic art a thing of the past and no longer relevant in art circles.

due to the many TV shows on blades' forging, the popularity of this skill is increasing wildly and the showmanship too.


Some people are artists but some are showing off something they learned and are able to produce.

The exchange of information is now incredible and people can attend courses and learn techniques in many countries in the world.


In the end one has to value things on their own merit each and every time.

Well, photography didn't bring an end to painting in a realistic manner, so i doubt AI will.

I suppose the Horse left the barn in the 1600's when the camera obscura was invented.
