With recent advances in AI art, I’m conflicted on what it means to be an artist. If art is about borrowing (and stealing, according to Picasso) from other people, what's the difference from human art from AI's? For this drawing, I took replicas of classical sculptures and arranged them to look revered and distorted. Art is an imitation of life as much as it is an expression of the human condition.
