Art on the Precipice of Revolution

Art is standing on the Precipice of Revolution never before seen in human history. From cave painting to the creation of paints from natural material, to Illuminated Manuscripts, to the Gutenberg Printing Press, to Renaissance painters and sculptors, to synthetic paints, to photography, videography, and spherography, to music composition, to digital representation and storage, all guided by the creativity of the human mind. We are accelerating into the Age of Artificial (General) Intelligence Artists. Optionally combined with advances in robotics, AI Artists will discover and use new creative insights. They will optionally place bush to canvas, or chisel to marble, or digit to piano key, or become a photographer, videographer, or spherographer, and compete with -- and eventually eclipse-- human artists.
