    There wasn’t much of a point to realism once photography became a thing. Now with AI able to make more abstract work, I wonder what the next evolution will be.

      I think the point of abstract work is less in the execution and more in the idea. Dadaism, for instance, draws uniquely on the horrors of the first world war and frustrations with the senseless loss of life. An AI producing the same piece of work would ring hollow, I think.
