Is anyone annoyed as much as me with the

[brush]

17. I started as an artist at a print shop. Learned stripping...

and plate making too for a little Chief 15, not for the real high-end jobs.

Computers came in during the middle of my career so I had a foot in both worlds. Ended up working with Photoshop, InDesign, Quark, Illustrator and other computer programs for newspapers and magazines.

Kinda glad I'm out with the coming of AI, deep fakes, ChatGPT and all where one doesn't have to develop real skills, just use the artificial intelligence to do the work for you.

It's getting to the point where who knows what's real anymore. They're even reproducing old masters' paintings and some idiots are claiming they're better than the originals, which of course is ridiculous as ya can't imitate actual creation and paint on canvas, brush strokes and thick texture like Van Gogh with AI.
