Fuck no. I've been a full time painter & designer since 1983. AI can scrape, plagiarize and copyright violate my decades of original work to train itself, then run it through a filter to get around the (unenforceable) law protecting creators. Someone is going to profit from that theft but it won't be me as I'm inexorably being deprived of my vocation... along with hundreds of thousands who make art, music and write. Even asking this question 'Can AI make art?' Holy hell. Just kill me now.

Seeking sunnier landscapes I left Woodstock NY for Tucson where I'll teach painting & finish a scifi novel. Images are my originals. Links at mernie.com
