I bought a nice piece of well-framed āalley artā from a neighbor having a garage sale in the alley. It was an evening Golden Gate Bridge scene in vivid watercolors and I didnāt notice at first but it had this (what I came to believe was a) flaw * the artist either didnāt see or saw and thought it didnāt detract enough from the overall scene it didnāt matter but I thought if I had done that Iād probably regret it.
It was a solid dark rectangle in the lower foreground that was literally the base of one of the towers of the bridge. It was physically correct but not psychically. Or maybe it was just fine. I still like it and the āflawā is a point of interest. 
* A poor choice in composition

In your drawing you are saying AI brings wealth and properity? 
Itās not mine, Iām not an artist. I mostly just āswipe & play.ā
I donāt think it was constructed to convey any meaning re AI but there it is, embedded anyway. Like Creaseās pAIn gAIn.

Like when I first started building webpages? I used cut-and-pilfer as my boss mentioned,

I can identify with this.
I used view-source: frequently so I could learn how things workāthis actually used to be available even on mobile Firefox for Android, but Mozilla removed that at some point (I thought they did, anyway. Yesterday[1] I tried it and was able to view the source of a page in a mobile browser, so maybe it was reintroduced at some point?)āand then I liked writing the bare markup in an editor. These days I make frequent use of the āInspectā option on desktop-based browsers. Thatās basically how I build the things I drop into the silly memes and badges topics when Iām not just muckinā around with GIMP.

What has the artist tried to do?

How well has he/she done it?

Was it worth doing?
I first heard this in a general arts class ages ago, offered by a working dramaturg (a developer, not a writer, of plays) and think itās useful. At the time I heard it I thought everything was worth doing and of course it made more sense as I aged.

I recall first learning this word when I was in college and one of the fine arts majors was assigned that title on a production. In the sense that she and the director were using that word, her role was to research the play in question and then write a piece (essentially program notes) to give it some historical and cultural context for attendees to read.

What is the artist?
An entity of āboundless potentialā
deferred to by billions of people
even in its adolescence
as heir to our collective future.
Who or What died and made it King?

Now I am disappointed I didnāt think of that. Maybe with him and his motorhome.

Beverly DāAngelo is little tiny. I stood near her in line to hear William S. Burroughs one time. It was an unremarkable reading and I was too far away. He was pretty dam old and seemed tired.

Good hear, though. And dam odd.
