This drawing by Fuseli is titled, "The Artist Moved to Despair at the Grandeur of Ancient Ruins." Fragments of Greek sculpture unearthed during the 18th century inspired feelings of inferiority in artists of that era. We should be similarly awed, and impelled forward, by the art of past eras, not by AI. As I posted in another thread, no art made on a computer (including the ocean of AI generated slop polluting the internet) has yet topped Michelangelo, Bouguereau, Dore, Frazetta, or Fuseli for that matter. You are right to feel small, but not because of AI "art."
