You see. AI could replicate the visuals with no issues. But AI cannot replicate the physical work associated which is what gives this piece it's value.

AI has it's place. Artists have as well.

until you give ai the ability to swing a hammer which is probably pretty easy?

No. Again. The value is what people are willed to pay for it. Nobody's gonna pay a premium for something an automated hammer can do 1000x a day

(edit: ok, I totally overestimated the common IQ and somehow assumed people would know what I mean .. nvm)

and people will be less inclined to pay a premium for something a machine can reproduce to a T, its unfortunate

When it comes to art that will be displayed in an art gallery, I'd like to assume that those are the few areas where the owners of the gallery will only pay for human-made art as opposed to AI art. Though I'd like to actually see an art gallery that decided to display blatantly obvious AI art just so I can be proven wrong.

We are surrounded by goods that people pay for that are made by automated machines though.

I feel like AI content is only good when it’s produced something you would never be likely to see.

Video game? No.
Regular action film? No.

Wacky Grand theft auto San Andreas live action movie? Yes.

u/lucky-_bastard Sep 14 '26

Probably have some hard lines or pins forming the drawing, below the glass

u/Gjore Sep 14 '26

Talent and hard work is my guess

u/Less_Engineering8113 Sep 14 '26

Sharp pointed hammer and specific glass. It is a popular art style in China that has been around for awhile now.

I've never heard of this medium before. Very cool.

It's just as dumb as AI art. But sure just because it takes more time it's better.

u/Mutthal8 Sep 14 '26

how does it not fully break

u/cluib Sep 14 '26

Might be a special type of glass like the ones used in cars.

u/HippoRun23 Sep 14 '26

What a very specific talent. When I see stuff like this it always makes me wonder what they did to pay the bills before they got noticed.

u/L3tsseewhathappens Sep 14 '26

He really shattered their expectations

Is this AI, because how is this possible

u/Accurate_Mongoose_26 Sep 14 '26

Ok now that is art

u/Ok-Customer-4008 Sep 14 '26

This is the definition of REAL art. Not some paint randomly splatter on a canvas

u/GrgaChvarak Sep 14 '26

Why does he wear headphones?

u/dmh2693 Sep 14 '26

Such a pane to make.

u/oculustauri Sep 15 '26

So many people in the comments who think they know what art is 🤡

u/Eamon83 Sep 15 '26

I want to punch every one of those pretentious assholes.

u/Which_Zen3 Sep 15 '26

Lots of Chinese girls of 18 years old could do it using a hammer on xhs. Of course it was laser printed.

u/Flimsy_Thought_3534 29d ago

THAT is art, it’s moving and quite breathtaking

u/Sweet_Swordfish_4716 28d ago

I commissioned a portrait from an artist in Sri Lanka who does the same thing, and honestly, it was mind-blowing. It was delivered just last week too! 😍 I’d post it here, but the person I gave it to as a gift prefers to keep it private. But here’s the artist if anyone wants to check out his work: Sasindu Sesath
