After following the AI conversation for so long there is one argument that is made over and over, by well meaning and not so well meaning folk.

“AI is inspired by artists the same way humans are”.

As a professional artist I can safely say that's nonsense. I wish to discuss why.

But first and foremost (and for those who may not know me) I am not a AI engineer, a neurologist, a scientist or a lawyer. I am however a professional artist with over 13 years of experience in film, games, etc, who teaches art via workshops all over the world. Creativity is certainly my wheelhouse!
