I am not buying it. In my opinion, it is so crappy artwork that if it was present in my studio it would be painted over and over. It has a welcome-to-the-grave feeling. The portrayed person appears like a rotten corpse without any human energy in it.

But I have a grim prediction for many human artists. Many of us will be thrown away like unnecessary puppets anymore for a short performance of harassing human artists AI robots. AI robots will be more and more educated by humans and precise in tools.

Copyright restrictions will lead to a lot of closures of AI companies. But not all of them. All styles are known and invented, all technologies are known and shown. I live in expectation of a new world, a world of automation and manufacturing without human jobs, a better world full of virtual reality games and multiple lives.

Indeed, the uniqueness of this work is added by the fact that it was created by a robot with artificial intelligence. In our cynical world, many things are possible. Many collectors can really be bribed by the uniqueness that is the authorship of a machine. And unfortunately for people, artificial intelligence in art, in my opinion, is capable of achieving the same thing that the Deep Blue computer achieved in chess competitions, eventually achieving superiority over human grandmaster champions. Potentially, AI will simply surpass most artists who will be doomed to an increasingly unprofitable existence. The computer is capable, due to its speed, of creating many collages on many themes. Of the many, some pieces will undoubtedly be more successful, perhaps very successful and recognized as masterpieces. We live in the hope that human abilities and talents will also increase and be able to compete.
