The sea looked calm.

But it didn’t feel that way.

Some noise doesn’t show.

Artist Spirit Stolen By Soulless Corporation (2025)

I recently bought a book, "Haring-isms," edited by Larry Warsh. A book filled with Keith Haring quotes which led me to find this beautiful quote,

“Art is one of the last areas that is totally within the realm of the human individual and can’t be copied or done better by a machine or technology." - Keith Haring.

A beautiful quote that is desperately needed during the "A.I. Revolution" times. Keith Haring saw art not as a thing, but as a way. He saw it as something that stimulates the imagination and encourages people to think and question. Which is not being accomplished by the A.I. "art" slop which is created by those who see art as useless.

Art is an expression of one's world. When it's shoved into a computer to be used as a means to kill artists' dreams and to satisfy billionaire companies by saving a few bucks, it's a grotesque display of murder.

Artists are not compensated, acknowledged, or seen by others. They are just seen as another miniscule option in an A.I. "art" generator.

It's saddening to see this. I hope that laws are put in place or that these creations are destroyed to save our humanity and creativity.

I know that posting on social media means my art and work are being taken for A.I. training. Even if the option is turned off, there is no way that is just decorative. Nonetheless, it will not take away my expression and my creativity.
