New York Magazine's Art Critic Jerry Saltz recently reviewed several AI generated pieces of art including my own. The piece begins at 19:45 in the above HBO Vice video. I was prepared for the worst, but pleased when he looked at this Portrait of Elle Reeve and commented that my robots have "good taste” and that “It doesn’t look like a computer made it. But he then paused and concluded "That doesn't make it any good."  But I loved the review since a couple of years ago the art world did not even consider what I was doing to be art. At least now it is considered bad art. That's progress!

All the AI generated art got roasted, but at least I got what I considered to be the best review of all my colleagues which included some of the world's finest AI generated artwork.
