This ultimately comes down to the question, "What is painting?"。``Something similar to a painting'' = ``not a painting''、This is because the question of what a painting is is the other side of the question.。

The main topic is the picture.、It would be easier to give an example of sculpture.、I will do that。Sculpture = 3D = Sculpture、Isn't it? Cars are three-dimensional、no one calls it sculpture。The handbags in the shop window are also elaborate and beautiful.、I wouldn't call it a sculpture after all.。But、If a sculptor made this shape out of bronze, it would be called a sculpture.。in the same way、If a handbag is made by a sculptor, it is also a sculpture.。It's not a matter of the material, like metal or leather.。Well then、Is anything made by a sculptor a sculpture? the answer is yes、is。

One of the top contemporary painters、Gerhard Richter (Germany) said, ``(To me) everything that the eye sees is a painting.''。In that case, don't call it ``something that resembles a painting.''、Isn't it okay to say that it's all a picture?、I think so, right?。The point is、There is no meaning in distinguishing between a painting and something similar to a painting.、That's what I'm saying、Because it's Richter。like him、There are very few people who pursue the differences between paintings and non-paintings.。ordinary people like me、ordinary people need to think more。

I also recognize a picture drawn in the sand as a painting.。Pictures drawn in the air with a penlight are also accepted.。If a sculptor makes it、Anpan is also a sculpture.、It's a painting because an artist draws it.。Even if a school teacher draws it, it will not become a painting.。That teacher became a “painter”、It becomes a “painting” for the first time.。"Painter" in this case does not refer to the occupation column.、that person's personal、I am a “painter” as a mind.。unless you become an artist、cannot create works of art、and that's how I feel。

In modern times、Just write a few simple sentences、The software will draw an “original” picture for you.。If you want to sell、you can also sell it。There is no shortage of platforms to sell it.。the person you want、With people who just look at it、At least in appearance、Just like oil paintings and watercolors、I know that I can only do what I can't do, but I'm frustrated、You can share the fun more easily。

In terms of "fun to watch"、buy ukiyo-e prints、Edo people enjoyed pasting them on sliding doors and folding screens.、There was a long line in front of the museum.、Some people clutched their tickets to see the masterpieces.、Some people share pictures drawn with AI by chatting with many people while lying in bed.、Each person can “enjoy” in a way that suits them (whether there are options or not).、There may be no difference in that.。

The pictures drawn by AI are created based on "statistics".、It is clear in theory。Paintings made with a brush are based on "sensation"。What is based on、Curling seems to be called "chess on ice"、They look different, like water and oil, but、Sensation is connected to experience、Experience also seems to be (loosely) related to statistics.。Even in each statistical image data、It probably reflects personal feelings and experiences.、more than I feel、It may actually be close。AI in an extremely short period of time、It is also starting to be easily accepted by society.、Is that what it is?。

But、at least i、Unable to share the “joy of drawing” with AI。If you think about the reason carefully、Maybe it's because AI "doesn't have the pain (of birth)"、It occurred to me。Even though we're talking about sharing "fun"、It may be a contradiction to bring up the idea of ​​sharing “suffering”, but、It is an inseparable part of the "joy of drawing"、it's definitely there。Even for people just looking、I can imagine the author's suffering.、have some experience。It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.、より深い共感が生まれていた、そんな気がします。

"Enjoy drawing"、普通に使う（使ってきた）言葉ですが、最近？だんだん難しく感じるようになってきました。つまり「絵」というのが「絵画」ではなくなってきたようなんです。「絵画」の定義が揺らいでいるというか、「楽しむ」の意味がゆらいでいるというか、そんな感じがするんです。

right now、多くの、絵を描く人にとっては、「絵を楽しむ」ことに何の変化もありません。literally、描いて楽しみ、観て楽しむ、それを多くの人と共有して楽しむ、それがすべてです。描かない人にとっては、観て楽しむ、その機会を共有して楽しむ、ことでした。

歴史上は、「絵を楽しむ」ことに、版画（出版物）が大きな貢献をしたことが知られています。誰もが知っている「浮世絵版画」。江戸時代では、絵を楽しむと言えば、まずはそのことを指したに違いありません。現物（版木？）を見たいなどという発想すらなかったでしょう。ヨーロッパでも、現物の絵を鑑賞できたのは貴族階級、僧侶、教師くらいのもので、ほとんどの人は教会の中の宗教画や、簡単な版画（摺りもの）だけを見て楽しんでいたはずです。

展覧会場で実際の絵（絵画）を鑑賞することができるようになったのは、比較的近代になってからのことです。鑑賞者は絵を通して作者の意図や感覚を共有、享受。それが「絵を楽しむ」ことの中心的なイメージになりました。
　その「絵」がAIの出現で、変質？しようとしています。これまで「観て楽しむ」だけだった人々が、「言葉」を変換することで「絵を描ける」ようになってきたのです。画材の知識も、もちろんデッサン力など何も要りません。「ピカソ風のブロンドの女」「椅子に座っている」などと、短い文を打ち込むだけでソフトが「絵を描いてくれる」んです。Moreover,、オリジナル性も保証されます。わたしのような従来型の画家から見れば、「絵を描く楽しみ」すら共有できなくなってきたのです。嫌な時代になってきたなーと感じています。
