I feel like I’ve been thinking about this too much in the last few days.
If you could recreate every drawing in history digitally or in better quality overall, wouldn’t your work be considered superior?
Why the hell isn’t there a nonprofit project that does this already?
No. A copy of an artist’s work is never “superior” to the original. Having to create from a blank canvas is way more impressive than duplicating what someone already did.
But also this question sounds like it’s about to lead to AI apologetics.
