The Instapainting guys already do! https://www.instapainting.com/blog/research/2015/08/23/ai-pa...

I can't corroborate this with a link but I saw the founder talk at a meetup and he said they were using it in production.

I wonder the same thing also. The SW/robot/AI should be able to take over this task soon.

We are! The problem is, the robot arm costs much more than hiring an artist.

Plus, we're having the robots kill people before retiring to painting.
