\nCouple centuries ago the highest mastery of the painter
\nwas to capture the look of people and things:

Then photography came along
\nand easily surpassed the manual portrayer
\nat rendering with accuracy and detail,
\ndoing a work of hours in seconds.<\/p>\n
Still the photo never vanquished the paint.
\nThe paint was liberated, free to explore its own properties:
\nImpressionism, Expressionism, Surrealism, Abstraction.
\nAnd to this day, a lot of painters still practice drawing from life.<\/p>\n
So now robots are putting on smocks and claiming to be artists.
\nMakem pay royalties forever for the art they ripped off,
\nbut let the robots show what they can do.
\nWe artists will be liberated to do what the robots cannot.<\/p>\n
Computers are best at doing what people are bad at.
\nTheir value lies in complementing us, not replicating us.
\nA robot is missing the living soul, in its mortal form.
\nThe deep part of art, robots don\u2019t get that, not yet anyways.<\/p>\n
