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.、A deeper sense of empathy was born、I feel like that。

"Enjoy drawing"、It is a word that is commonly used (has been used)、recently? It's starting to feel more and more difficult。In other words, it seems that ``painting'' is no longer ``painting.''。Would you say that the definition of "painting" is wavering?、The meaning of "enjoy" is wavering.、That's what it feels like。

right now、many、For those who draw pictures、There is no change in "enjoying pictures"。literally、I'm looking forward to drawing、watch and enjoy、share it with many people and enjoy it、that's all。For those who don't draw、watch and enjoy、Share and enjoy the opportunity、It was that。

Historically、To “enjoy painting”、It is known that prints (publications) made a major contribution。``Ukiyo-e prints'' that everyone knows。In the Edo period、Speaking of enjoying pictures、I'm sure that's what you meant in the first place.。You probably never even thought of wanting to see the actual thing (woodblock?)。Even in Europe、The aristocracy was able to appreciate the actual paintings.、monk、Something like a teacher、Most people see religious paintings in churches.、They must have enjoyed just looking at simple prints (surimono).。

It became possible to appreciate actual paintings at the exhibition hall.、This is relatively modern。Viewers share the artist's intentions and feelings through the paintings.、enjoy。This became the central image of ``enjoying pictures.''。
With the advent of AI, that “picture”、Alteration? trying to。People who used to just "watch and enjoy"、It has become possible to ``draw pictures'' by converting ``words.''。Knowledge of art materials、Of course, you don't need any drawing skills or anything.。``A Picasso-style blonde woman'' ``Sitting on a chair''、Just type in a short sentence and the software will draw a picture for you.。Moreover,、Originality is also guaranteed。From the perspective of a traditional painter like me、It has become impossible to even share the ``joy of drawing''.。I feel that we are living in an unpleasant era.。
