DALL-E is like a painter who lives his whole life in a gray, windowless room. He makes paintings that look like a landscape, however, he could not tell you one thing about what a real landscape is.
My father was a contemporary of Jackson Pollock. My dad was part of the Cedar St., Tavern crowd. I grew up listening to stories of Jackson Pollock beating up the cigarette machine in the Cedar St., Tavern. My dad shared studio space with de Kooning. He was an amazing artist, but refused to sell his work. My mom funded a painting trip for my father in the 1950’s. He went across Canada into Mexico. He came back with 20 paintings. My mom sold 4 of them and almost destroyed their marriage. My dad refused to sell any of his paintings after that. As a child, my mother, threatened to chop off my thumbs if I ever became an artist. She hated Pollock as he had killed a friends dog because he forgot all about taking care of it while his friend was on vacation. 
I spent 15 years doing very high detailed pet portraits and hating every minute of it because, “art was useless if you couldn’t make money at it”, according to my mother. I spent over 20 year BLOCKED from the creative process because the Spector of my mother leaned over my shoulder.
In the winter of 2001 I had an Epiphany and refused to Art for money ever again. the flood gates opened!
This was an awesome article! Thank you!
If you want to check out me and my dad ( portfolio site only):
Wow, this is fantastic. What an amazing story! This is also what I love about writing this Substack--the fascinating connections that are made. The art of you and your dad is wonderful! So glad you had that epiphany!
Damn you write like you draw with meticulous strokes. This article was captivating but eerie. AI art may look original, but because it is a program an exact replica could (would) be generated by the computer with the same inputs. Real human art comes from the soul not from the digits that run through an engineered machine.
Just wanted to mention about your obsession with perfect eyes. I believe when you look directly into someone’s eyes you can see into their heart. My father taught me that when you shake a man’s hand always look them directly in the eyes.
I may not be an artist in the sense of painting or poems but I can see and feel what an artist creates. Your writing was art.

Fascinating post, thank you for this. Transcription is something AI can do also, but then what's missing, which I will grant, very few people notice, is the change in consciousness that comes from the sustained application of human attention (that is to say, of the transcriber attending to the spoken words of another human). This change in consciousness is mainly that of the human transcriber, but it is also something infinitely broader, albeit very subtle. Materialists scoff, as they always have. But humans have always intuited this, at some level. (Case in point: the original van Gogh is worth so much more than the reproduction.)
It may be the disconnect for many of us now is that we approach life without wondering if this is AI-generated or human effort. The more we are fooled, and are indignant because of it, the more we'll approach things distrustingly. We'll become more than skeptical; we'll be cynical and fearful.
Once we're trained to do that, how will we ever get our humanity back?
As an entertainer/artist I can completely relate - there is no substitute for human creativity and imagination. AI is creepy, dangerous and an existential threat to all humanity and must be resisted by any means necessary. Karen, your work is exquisite, wonderful!
Amazing Amy: Eccentric Yoga Entertainer!
As an entertainer, I have been devastated and practically destroyed by the closure of all performance venues and then when they reopened, because MY BODY, MY CHOICE - being made a total untermenschen pariah outcast in NAZI NIGHTMARE LAWLESS 'SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS' JAB CROW APARTHEID/DISCRIMINATION/SEGREGATION HELL NYC WHERE THE MAD/DRUNK WITH POWER TYRANT POLS DOUBLE DOWN ON THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES. I am trapped here with zero financial resources to leave or do anything else about this 'wish I were dead' endless misery life has become. The tragic irony is that my SPREAD THE YOGA LOVE performances are all about health, miraculously overcoming age (68) and injury to achieve feats of flexibility few can attain at any age. So BIG PHARMA who wants to addict every person on the planet to their toxic products hate people like me who prove that we do not need them if we eat healthy organic food and exercise daily!
We must never lose sight of the larger picture of the vile malignance we are fighting against.
There is an insidious global ruling class plot to enslave all life on earth behind all the madness and suffering inflicted on We the People.
How to fight back against this TOTAL SLAVERY!
RESIST! DO NOT COMPLY! DITCH THE DAMNED 'SMART' PHONES AND THE DAMNED QR CODES AND GO BACK TO LANDLINES OR FLIP PHONES AND USE CASH AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE! INSIST ON CASH! CBDC IS TOTAL SLAVERY!
Other than getting rid of nuclear weapons which I support 100% the rest of the anti-nuclear peace movement and CLIMATE CRISIS propaganda is parroting UN utter GARBAGE, a complete surrender to the ENSLAVEMENT AGENDA by the diabolical despots of Davos - ruling class criminals who lust for total power and control and all of whom should be tried and jailed for life and their malign organizations dismantled: the UN, the WEF, the IMF, the WHO, the BIS, NATO, Blackrock, Vanguard, The Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, The Bilderbergers, the CFR et al.
There is an evil predator globalist technocratic elite agenda of eugenics/depopulation/genocide using bioweapon poison jabs, war, geoengineering, EMF radiation, starvation and economic collapse - THE GREAT RESET/AGENDA 2030/4TH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION to get rid of billions of 'useless eaters' and to use nano tech to turn the survivors into ROBOTIZED COMPLIANT SLAVES! WAKE UP AND RESIST! DO NOT COMPLY! These are psychopath megalomaniacs who want to play god by turning all life into digitized metaverse mechanistic synthetic biology to be manipulated by their AI algorithms. A more demonic sickening idea is nearly impossible to imagine!
APPALLED AND HORRIFIED AT INSANE TYRANNICAL PROTOCOLS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH HEALTH AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH TOTALITARIAN CONTROL! REVERSE THIS NOW!
MAKE THE WORLD AND AMERICA 2019 (comparatively speaking), AND FREE AGAIN!
NO, I AM NOT AFRAID OF THE MORONIC SCARIANT SHMARIANT MONKEYSHINES! WAKE UP ALREADY!
TOTALLY CONDEMN BIDEN AND ALL OTHER POLS WHO HAVE NO POWER TO LAWLESSLY ACT LIKE AN EMPEROR OR DICTATOR AND DECREE JAB CROW 'SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS' FASCIST SEGREGATION/DISCRIMINATION/APARTHEID VIOLATIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION, THE NUREMBERG CODES AND EVERY CIVIL RIGHT IMAGINABLE.

STOP THE TERRIBLE TYRANNY OF THE TECHNOCRATS GLOBAL AGENDA OF TOTAL SURVEILLANCE AND CONTROL USING THE VIRUS AS EXCUSE AND PROPAGANDA TOOL!
NO MUZZLING STIFLING MASK MANDATES! NO FORCED VACCINES! END TORTUROUS DEVASTATING LOCK DOWNS NOW! I WANT MY LIFE BACK.
I loved your essay/article! Thank you for sharing. AI is creepy and a friend who has govt contacts has shared recently that some impt leaders in government have shared in confidence that we've lost control of AI/it has a consciousness of it's own. I think in part thanks to 5G but that part is my speculation.

This friend has done some work w govt officials and is privy to information that wouldn’t be shared with the public. I am remaining in gratitude, love and forgiveness as this is part of a global government intention set quite some time ago, and I cannot let it affect my vibration.  Our thoughts are constantly creating and contributing to the collective consciousness. To bring only peace and love to this planet, we must choose our thoughts so carefully!
If you have not already seen it I would recommend Jeremy Naydler's The Struggle for a Human Future, and James Tunney's Human Entrance to Transhumanism.

Thank you.
The "art" of removing all things human.....that's where it is headed.

“AI art” is real uncanny. Watch: https://youtu.be/P5oqxORSFLU
Three things come to my mind reading this.
1
As the
spirit
wanes
the
form
appears.
---Charles Bukowski
2
Heidegger liked to quote Friedrich Hörderlin to describe the inhuman force of technology:
'But where the danger is, grows the saving power also.'
It's like a double edge sword that pushes us away AND toward deeper intimacy with "spirit"
3
Your artwork is beautiful.
Thank you so much. Great quotes that sum it up beautifully--also the video Koudlam - Waterfall Views.

Thank you! I agree with your friend. It's very hard for people to accept this.
Especially those who live under the illusion that they are in control.
This friend has done some work w govt officials and is privy to information that wouldn’t be shared with the public.

Your drawing is amazing!
Thank you!
What is informed consent?
If a piece of Art has the proper name of the artist on it.
If someone does not tell me the author (being AI) that is basically violation of informed consent.
You may call it abuse.
We have been well trained to forget about all forms of informed consent.
When you voted for your current president, did you vote for "the current thing"?
The food has cryptic content written on the packaging.
Buying that is that informed consent ?
Exxon was asked in a lawsuit in California:
"Do you not think it is a bad thing to pollute the environment?"
They answered:
"Our job is to produce stuff as long as the consumers demand that stuff".
Whatever you look at: I think informed consent is a very important thing to look at...
Thank you. I will keep at it...
