"As Rory says, "Remember my argument against Silicon Valley: an automatic door does not replace a doorman."

And here's my riff on Rory's quote, "Remember my argument against AI: an automatic image renderer does not replace an artist." "

This is one of my favs! there is a genuine fear amongst many artists . sadly some will quit when faced with this fear, while others will persevere and stay the course, and due to less competion in the human made art category those that stayed will have the opportunity to see immense success. In fact, I will go out on a limb and say, this truly is the greatest time in History to be a fine art Artist!
