> For artists who continue to paint, or use other physical means of expression through base materials and sell them as physical works, this entire AI art surge remains largely irrelevant in a practical sense. A buyer or patron who wants real, physical art will still need and want real, physical art, and I don't see an AI imitating much of that easily any time soon.
I don't think it would be that hard to get a machine to physically paint in layers. Sure, the velocity, pressure, texture etc. of a brush would take time to model, but you could start with spray paint.
- a_shovel 4y agoImportantly, a physical painting machine isn't gonna be something anyone with a beefy GPU can download for free. It would pretty much only be useful for factories in Mexico making "Henry Rogers"-style mass-produced paintings [0], which would be bad news for the impoverished workers currently making them, but not for most other painters.

- HKH2 4y agoYeah maybe the demand for visual art just isn't there. I imagine a plotter with a brush which has paint injected directly into it, which I don't think would cost that much materials-wise.
