I could remember I stumbled into an artist shop some weeks ago and I was left completely astonished. Guess who I found, a female artist. She was very kind I must admit, despite the fact that I wasn't there to do 'her kind of business'. What I mean here is, I was out for an outreach and I happened to meet her in a shop painting an art work. I just stood there in awe. I was just looking at her, looking at the paintings with imaginations of how gifted one can be.
I was even imagining how I will start to even meet up in case I was asked to do such painting. I had to congratulate her for her good works and also had to let her know that gifts have sources. Yes, one can say, there are various art colleges that turn people into a wonder, yet those with in-built skills have a hedge. Looking at her I knew it was an in build gift. That was where I linked her with such personnels in the bible whom God instructed Moses to use in making the artworks of his tabernacle. She too was astonished, I had to link her with those Bible verses which she said she will do well to go through when she is done with work. I hope she did.
First, let me enter into the printing industry as I TRY to understand the future of art paintings. The question of how long before machines take over is still a big debate. Many markets are gradually diminishing, will the human art industry follow suit?. Ok, let's run some analysis, how big is the art industry? As of 2022, the global art market surged to nearly $68 billion according to the little research I made.

This proved a pre-pandemic bounce back, from here I can say, the human art industry is still of great value. Come to think of it, with various applications and softwares available for creation of design, why is this market not diminishing?.
And to add to that, here comes AI, this is a technology we are seeing routing so many industries as we speak. I had to do such an analysis, will AI robots painting be far better than humans?. That's the first question, even if it does, will it have the same value as that painting by a human?. Adding to that, how can we differentiate and will the buying market really care?

Let's look at yet another forecast, there is an assumption that the human art painting industry will reach $115 billion in the next decade. Wow! I thought AI was going to flush off this industry. So how are they planning to thrive? Human-AI incorporations for a much better painting. Let's say for instance, from the early stage of painting it was done with charcoal and it was later advanced with better painting liquids and a painting brush (just setting an example here). So how does this relate? Take the painting brush to be an AI incorporation in the hands of a painter.
I feel we may be seeing a much better human painting with AI adding up to expand the knowledge of humans as concerning arts. There will be newly and easily created AI painting designs, limiting the brain cracking process. You have to admit, art has to do with much thinking or imagination as the case may be. What then happens when an AI software does ALL that for you. Take for instance, you are about to write a proposal, of Course an AI software can help put up something similar for you to start with.
To conclude, let me add, the introduction of AI has been one big concern about whether many human related jobs will prevail. For human art painting, we are still seeing a surge up till date. This is something we can say, there remain a future for artists and most especially those who will be able to blend AI tech into their daily paintings. This is always what technology does, those who how to incorporate it always have a hedge.
