Artificial Intelligence Bot And The FutureLawyer - An Artist In The Making?

This is a canvas print of an art piece I created with the assistance of an AI bot. It is a self portrait of the FutureLawyer, in an abstract style. It should fetch a few million at auction, don't you think? :-)

AI Generated Art - Are Artists Obsolete?

Generative AI isn't limited to creating language. There are dozens of applications that use AI to create art; and, each iteration is unique. This raises the question of whether art generated with the help of a computer is the property of the human who assists in its creation, by supplying the key words. I expect that this is the closest the FutureLawyer will ever become to being able to create art that is okay to look at. Left to using a paint brush and paint, I suspect that my art would look like a child's work. But, here is a painting that I created using generative AI. I might just have this printed and hang it on the wall. The title is "FutureLawyer".

You Too Can Be An Artist.

This image is how AI sees the FutureLawyer. I created this painting, and I didn't touch a brush, real or digital. I merely chose words with reference to an image. If AI can replace legal research, it can also replace artists. Can we ever be certain that a human created anything? In the future, how will we distinguish between the things that computer creates, and those that are human? Will humans become a combination life form, with both human and digital parts? 

AI Generated Art From FutureLawyer Image.

This image was created from the FutureLawyer logo. I like the robotic vibe, with a spark of insight represented by the bright sun. Will FutureLawyer become an indestructible future man, while keeping the soul of a poet in an armored exterior? Stay tuned.

Gen Z Goes To The Art Museum.

Alright, hold your judgments, boomers. It is possible they are viewing a digital docent describing the pieces in the museum. Of course, it is more likely they are ignoring the elephant in the room. You choose.

Poems For Lovers - The Illustrator's Perspective.

Heather Joi, the artist who illustrated my latest poetry collection, "Poems For Lovers" was introduced to me via the Internet, and I became her patron on Patreon. Check out Patreon. It is a great way to support artists. In any event, she posted about doing the illustrations, and I am impressed by her work and insight to my work. I do tend to "snapshot" life moments, together with a "stream of consciousness" that leads to an insight about life. Here is her post:

"The illustrations i have been working on are finished! This was a fun project. I went through Rick's poems, he is a prolific writer, and selected poems that stood out to me for their illustrative quality. After reading and re reading... once i felt i had a good feel for the poems, i set out to create the illustrations. i opted for elegant ink drawings because the poems seemed to have a snapshot feel to them; a sudden moment of inspiration captured by a stream of consciousness. i wanted to create illustrations that reflected this feeling. after deciding on the poems and the style, i set forth to compose. i created thumbnails of each of the poems in order to work out the composition. once i had sorted that out, i set out to ink the drawings. now, the thing that is interesting about simple work is that it actually takes a lot of practice to get the image right. the images have to appear effortless while, in fact, there are hours of work put into them. the analogy i often use to describe this is Matisse. he is a master of creating simple works that take an extraordinary amount of work. for instance, his portrait drawings look incredibly simple... almost like a child drew them. their playfulness is what makes them compelling while one realizes that the whole drawing is an unbroken line, you become astounded. not that i am comparing my drawings to Matisse, by any means ha ha ha, but it is a good way to describe the effort behind simple work. it takes a lot of practice to make something appear effortless. so without further ado, here are the images!

                                                                                                                         

Love In A Time Of Pandemic.

Saw this in my Twitter feed after my muse, Michael Wade, liked it in Twitter. It occurred to me that "Lovers, Part 2" is an inappropriate, or incomplete, title. I have renamed it "Lovers In A Time Of Pandemic". Let's keep each other safe.
