“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...

“Given the increasing prevalence of A.I. in the sector, we are in the process of creating guidelines on its use museum-wide,” the spokesperson added.

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. Now get back to the bus quickly before we run out of oxygen, I only had enough money to buy Nestle tanks to take us halfway through the museum today.
