Modern day artist" is a piece about being an artist in this current age of generative AI art. The door generative AI has opened is heavily debated on, whether it is good or bad. This piece offers the perspective of an artist and how AI art is harmful in more ways than one. AI art is an amalgamation of art stolen from real artists, and this offers a visualization of it from the eyes creeping up upon the artist, the capitalistic greed of those in power, the ignorance of the unknown masses being puppeted and how it eats away at our brain and soul when we're only dependent on the work of another. I've always found that the best parts about humanity is our ability to create and to express. Without art we are nothing and real art has soul,thoughts,effort and humanity in it.
