As a young adult, I discovered that art is not only a form of self-expression, but also a conversation between the creator and the audience. With the advent of generative art tools driven by artificial intelligence, machines are now ever more present in this dialogue.

Image-based forms of art, whether digital or physical, can take decades to perfect, yet the journey of learning new techniques and tools never truly ends.

What I have seen so far is that the capabilities of these new AI tools are beyond imagination, and they have the potential to revolutionize the process of creating visual art, design, music, architecture, fashion and many other creative industries. However, in my opinion, it will never replace the value of direct human creation. In fact, I see room for traditional art to gain in value and importance in coming years as generative AI continues to find market fit.
