AI generated art is ugly af and I have yet to see a single piece of art that has come remotely close to changing my mind
I’ve spent the last 6 years doing my best to support the artist community however I can, with my small business
When patrons walk into Mutts, the first thing they do is compliment the art. It’s a conglomerate of work from artists both local and far.
And when it comes to the bond between our pets and us, an artificially created algorithm isn’t going to capture the love and companionship that a real human behind a paintbrush or pencil can
I’ve seen so many small businesses openly using AI so this is my bid to you as a business owner to please let the art community into your space and leave a one of a kind footprint on it. Your patrons will notice the difference, and for the better, I promise.
