    “I think they are testing the waters to see how willing the public are to accept A.I. images so then they can fire or not hire creatives and professionals,” she added in an email. “I think it’s cost saving.”

    In a statement, a spokesperson for the British Museum said that it regularly shares “user-generated” content online. In this case, the content had been made using A.I. “We do not post A.I.-created images and, recognizing the potential sensitivity, removed it,” they said.

    Museums are going to start to suck…

      And here children, you can see the end of legalized human creativity. From this point on in the early 21st century all art was relegated to machines. We let the chatbots make the prompts, and the art theft machines printed some of these these magnificent NFTs you see before you.

      It was a truly explosive time for economic growth in the art sector. OpenAI alone made over $420 gazillion worth of NFTs in the first year alone, which was then invested 4 times over in Nvidia programs.

    The British Museum is already one of the world’s biggest active crime scenes. Why not throw in a little art theft in too, as a modern example that appeals to the youth?
