Are you an artist kind of freaked out by AI art? I wrote a blog post about how I learned to stop worrying about the AI Art revolution:

@KeeganLarwin Wow, what a great essay. I have to admit I get a bit freaked out by all of this crazy AI tech, and definitely get a lot of FOMO. However, I find nothing fulfilling in using any of the text to image software that's out there now.

I think a lot of the low hanging fruit can be snatched up by ML tools if the copyright issues can be nailed down. I'm thinking Stock Photo & Video, basic mograph, etc. But you're right about "art" today. Maybe this will all spark something new.

@KeeganLarwin Novelty may not be what AI creates, as it can only regurgitate what it has seen. Novel combinations of elements perhaps. But I get your point: a flood of AI generated imagery that looks interesting. And yes, it is all meaningless and devoid of feeling, lacking human experience. I shared your essay with my students.
