  In olden times, even before any media (Legacy/ Mass), being an Artist was considered as a boon for any human and were considered the chosen ones, expressing in such a way others wouldn't even think about was a kind of unique in one manner- Art was all about gifted talent. Today, through skill learning of A.I. tools and how algorithm works, people create artworks quickly, easily and at low cost, but still Artists need not feel threatened as one of the primary criticisms is that A.I. -generated artworks lacks the human touch and emotional depth that is clearly seen in comparison with a traditional artwork. Although A.I. can replicate certain styles or techniques, it struggles to capture the essence of human creativity and imagination. According to ChatGPT, “Art is the creative expression of ideas, emotions, and stories through various mediums such as painting, writing, music, and more.” But an Artist thinks it as a way of living... personal discipline, self-discovery, and life e...
