i think this is more a problem with the digital art. AI hasnt sprung arms nor a wallet to go out and buy the crazy expensive art supplies yet required to put blobs on the canvas.
This really wouldn’t be that hard to do, CNC machines are essentially step motors on rails holding a tool head. Old (pre-them just being big inkjets) plotters were basically a 2 axis CNC with a tool head that would retrieve, move, lower, raise and replace specially designed pens. My high school had one, a pretty large format one. So you could already pretty trivially have AI gen sketches drawn with actual pens on actual paper if you go find an old plotter, and a CNC painting machine would be about 80% the same thing.
The harder part by far would be building software to convert a JPEG into instructions to paint with and have it look good.
And of course they’re exploited workers in “third world” countries where poverty may be life-threatening (not talking about the US this time), so nobody can realistically fight back.

Current AI doesn’t have enough Data.
fine for those who have themselves a data.
Give it a few years, and some very hateful AI bro will build a CNC machine that prints JPEGs using oil paint.

You can write or draw stuff with a fountain pen with an AxiDraw, and that’s an off-the-shelf system. I imagine that it could paint as well.
EDIT: Apparently the Inkscape plugin used to drive it was originally designed to drive a plotter that did watercolor painting.
I think printers are just CNC machines that print.
ok go ahead and outrage on a whatif then. suit yourself. meanwhile the digital world is the thing that is burning right now.
Found the hateful AI bro!
There are people getting paid to train AI with their manual skills right now.

Capitalism is a bitch.
