Good artists copy, great artists steal

  Picasso (if he really said that) had a machine painting for him?

    Picasso explicitly wanted his designs (for cutlery, plates, household items he designed) to be mass-produced, so your question is not as straightforward as you make it to be.

      What is the connection to machine generated code? He designed the items manually and mass produced them. No one objects to a human writing code and selling copies. Apart from that, this is the commercial Picasso who loved money. His early pre-expressionist paintings are godlike in execution, even if someone else has painted a Pierrot before him.

      Picasso also never said this, and this quote is about ideas, not automation.
