Prompt Paintings

I asked AI to describe a famous painting and then I paint the prompts that it generates. Not following its instructions, but painting the literal words of the prompt.
I believe the idea that AI could ever replace humans in any meaningful artistic endeavor is preposterous. The act of describing a picture to an AI image generator and allowing it to output a result is borderline offensive. So I am doing the opposite  — asking AI how to paint works of art and then, instead of following its instructions — because I am a human with free will — I ignore its instructions and instead turn those empty words into fully manmade works, filled with the evidence of human imperfection that is everything AI is not — time consuming, laborious and flawed. But fully human.
