For example, I have no knowledge of film editing or what “works” in a sequence, but if I wanted to I could create something more than passable with AI.
Why would someone buy a plate off her, when they could get one from IKEA for 1.50 eur?
Yet ceramics is not a dead art. Beats me?
but 200 years ago there were loads of ceramic manufactures, employing hundreds of thousands of skilled potters. even 50 years ago, there were thousands of skilled ceramists in the UK. now its single person artisans, like your very talented other half.
