In light of the passage you shared, I recently have been experimenting with generative art algorithms and there is a particular project called PixelmindAI that gives anyone the tools to create art in the style of an artist or genre using just text. Similar to GPT-3 but based on a more open-sourced version. It’s absolutely incredible to watch digital art being trained in realtime to from previous works of legends like Van Gough!

So cool! I will have to look into PixelmindAI. I have heard of algorithms like this described as "artist assistants." I like that a lot more than the narrative of "AI will replace humans." Thanks for sharing!!

Cool! Yeah, for sure - making a superior product based on the needs of your customers is important. I haven't read the book, but I am definitely curious now!
