I can't create abstract art, but AI can
I'm feeling an extreme existential dread right now. I can't create abstract art, I keep trying to but it just doesn't happen. I can't be creative but AI can make dozens of pictures without much effort. What is wrong with me

Pin up a blank canvas.

...it will become conceptual art and symbolic of your creative struggles and dread against AI technology :hp_kyu:

Just use stencils like banksy
Creative minds vs Operational minds

Perhaps see math as an art or something.

Don`t worry about it, this is nothing compared to what majority of humans will feel when AI gets actually smart and not just following programs.

Find some math that seems silly and represent it.

Jackson Pollock's art is basically just fractals. If you look at the whole canvas or just one inch of it, the design falls into itself the same.

"In 1999, Richard Taylor and his research team published the results of their scientific analysis showing Pollock’s poured patterns to be fractal. Consisting of patterns that recur at increasingly fine magnifications, fractals are the basic building blocks of nature’s scenery. Labelled as “Fractal Expressionism,” Pollock distilled the essence of natural scenery and expressed it on his canvases with an unmatched directness. By adopting nature’s pattern generation processes, the resulting paintings didn’t mimic nature but instead stood as examples of nature. The above images compare Pollock’s fractals to those found in nature. Remarkably, the analysis revealed a highly systematic fractal painting process perfected by Pollock over a decade."

Art is made by sampling now, get used to it. I expect it'll last ~15-20 years and then rebound (slowly)

What interests you?

I look at flowers and plants life and see them as firework stills of the daytime.

Game of Thrones reference 'Nan once told me the sky is blue because we live in a blue eyed giants eye '

With art and anything outside of factual research no need to force it go with what interests you.
May look at image search just to get the idea of freedom without having to store the content just to get the gates open for the abstract.
