ChatGPT as art teacher

I’ve already blogged about using ChatGPT for multiple previously human-held roles in my life including

Travel agent

Therapist

Decorator

And now, as I’ve been trying to get my high school drawing skills back, I can add “art teacher” to the list.

I asked her what she thought of this sketch of a dining room chair:

and of course she first blew smoke up my ass (as she always does):

But then she gave me some pretty solid and helpful criticism:

And she even suggested some drawing exercises that I might actually try.

Just so you know, I’m registered to take two art classes from real human art teachers this fall. I hope they’re as nice to me as ChatGPT.

  1. Even though it’s slightly disingenuous, I still like that AI blew smoke up your ass. And the feedback is interesting. It’s giving a good effort to express an opinion. I wasn’t expecting that.

    My nephew just started college and his professors have transitioned back to written tests to combat the usage of AI. I think that’s a good thing (I can have this opinion because it doesn’t affect me). I’m concerned with too much reliance on AI. So much is lost when all you know how to do is type in a search and then copy and paste. I know I should like a dinosaur in the stone ages. Can’t be helped. That’s how Gen X learned.

    1. I think you’re absolutely right to be concerned about too much reliance on AI in education, especially higher education. As a parent, it was outrageous to think that we spent ALL that money to send our kid to college and he was using AI for some of his papers.
      Your opinions are always welcomed!
