Sorry to bring you the bad news, but your lifetime is (likely) finite and each brush stroke takes away a bit of that precious finite time.

In contrast, while digitally reproduced crap is also fundamentally finite, it can be replicated gazillion upon gazillion times more without any effort or sacrifice.

This is the so-called zero-marginal cost of (re)production [1]. Some people think its a blessing, some people think its a curse.

With AI algorithms it gets even worse. You don't only have infinite copies of the original, you also have infinite variations of the original.

Interesting times.
