The Loss of the Human Touch? A Painter's Perspective

There is a perfection to AI art that I find unsettling. The lines are too clean, the lighting too perfect. It lacks the accidental drips, the texture of thick paint, and the physical struggle of the artist visible on the canvas.

As a painter, I believe value lies in the struggle. The fact that it took me months to make something gives it weight. AI bypasses that struggle. But does it bypass the art?

I don't think so, but I do think it makes physical art more valuable. In a world flooded with perfect digital images, the handmade, flawed, physical object becomes a rare luxury.
