New paintings are in production and I have re-routed my attention to them from QFS for the month of February. I really need to bust to get these where they need to be before the end of April. I think I can do it, even though I am going out of town possible TWO times in March.
I have discovered chat GTP and asked it questions about my work. This would have been cheating in college. Is it still cheating to use it's words in this blog post?
My mom texted me about Chat GTP and said someone used it for writing his blog posts. lol that seems like cheating to me. all you have to do is ask it these questions like "write me an artist statement about..." and it spits out an answer similar to what a smart high schooler would write, without the ability to think very deep.
prompt: write me an artist statement of how my paintings relate to the digital world
As an artist, my work explores the relationship between painting and our digital world. In a time where technology has become an integral part of our daily lives, my paintings aim to bridge the gap between the physical and digital realms. I am interested in how digital tools and techniques can be used to create traditional paintings, and how the resulting images can comment on the way we perceive and interact with the world around us. Through the use of vibrant colors, layering, and texture, my paintings aim to create a sense of depth and movement that mimics the fluidity of digital experiences. I believe that painting can be used to reflect upon the role of technology in our lives, and to question its impact on our society. My work aims to connect the viewer with the physical world, while also reminding them of the constant presence of technology in our lives.
prompt: how are game development, skateboarding, and painting all related?
Game development, skateboarding, and painting are all related in various ways.
One way they are related is through the concept of creativity. All three activities involve a level of creativity and self-expression. Game development requires creativity in the design and development of the game, skateboarding involves creative expression through tricks and movements, and painting allows the artist to express themselves through the use of color, composition, and brushstrokes.
Another way they are related is through the idea of practice and repetition. All three require a level of practice and repetition to master. Game developers must practice and repeat the process of development to create a polished product, Skateboarders must practice and repeat tricks to execute them flawlessly, and painters must practice and repeat techniques to improve their skills.
Lastly, all three also have a strong visual component. Game development involves creating visually appealing graphics, skateboarding is often associated with aesthetic moves and style, and painting is a visual art form.
All in all, Game development, Skateboarding, and painting are related through the shared values of creativity, practice and repetition, and visual expression.
prompt: write me an artist statement about how painting relates to the digital world; the relationship between game development, skateboarding, and painting; and how living in the city of chicago is a source of inspiration.
As an artist, my work explores the relationship between painting and the digital world, and how living in the city of Chicago is a source of inspiration. I am interested in how digital tools and techniques can be used to create traditional paintings, and how the resulting images can comment on the way we perceive and interact with the world around us. At the same time, I draw inspiration from the fast-paced, urban environment of Chicago, which serves as a constant source of energy and creativity.
In my work, I also aim to bridge the gap between game development, skateboarding, and painting. I believe that all three activities are related through the concept of creativity and self-expression, as well as the idea of practice and repetition. The fast-paced, high-energy nature of skateboarding and game development is reflected in my use of vibrant colors, layering, and dynamic brushstrokes.
Through my paintings, I strive to create a connection between the physical and digital worlds, and to reflect upon the role of technology in our lives. At the same time, I aim to pay tribute to the energy and creativity of the city of Chicago, and to explore the relationship between urban living and artistic expression. My work aims to connect the viewer with the physical world, while also reminding them of the constant presence of technology in our lives, and the rich cultural heritage of the city.
So there we have it folks, AI has replaced mediocre writing. now only a human will be able to come up with the most create stuff. Creatives will be in high demand!
