To debate your point, we are absolutely seeing Amazon being flooded by AI books. Any open marketplace is currently experiencing a race to the bottom.

I actually go there every year for a generative art festival. It’s a surreal and awesome spot for sure.

This is a wonderful deep dive into your project. I'm early days on creating pixel art style procedural art systems, and this gives me plenty to think about.

That's not open source though... I would like to release this with a permissive license for humans only. From what I've read, the jury is still out on having your license copied left to the AI companies even when they're training on your information.

"Anonymity on social media has brought a lot of problems and I'm not sure what the benefits are"

Anonymity is a shield against public lynching for communities that are targeted by hate groups such as LGBTQ+ (one example, there are plenty).

I’ve always wanted to get one of these working, but they’re rare, and heavy! That makes shipping expensive.

Agreed 100%. It all comes down to the artists intentions, and plotters have many limitations. My hope for this article was to expose people to other options.

Great portfolio of art btw, thanks for sharing!

You're correct, there are some more sophisticated processes used by specialty printers such as CcMmYK (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CcMmYK_color_model). Something like this will use more inks and less halftones, giving better results in some cases.

Or are you referring to other printing methods, say for example silk screening? There, you would definitely select a specific ink to use. It just depends on what your goals are.
