The link below is to an article talking about AI & art. What is interesting to me is how computerization is not replacing the artist; rather it is supplementing the artist and making them more productive.

I know Bill Ooms does this with ornamental turning.

It is going to be really interesting to watch and see how this could change wood turning.

Kind regards,
Rich
