There are two women depicted in the light box photos the museum visitor is looking at. Are you certain of the facts of your post. It would be hard to have a history of cryptanalysis without Elisabeth F.

A blue and white porcelain dinner plate with a peacock.

The roast beast for this past Christmas was peacock with a claret sauce that was absolutely delicious!

It was juicy, with a mild turkeyish flavor, and the slightly sour claret sauce worked beautifully with the meat.

My eldest child is also an artist and uses it from time to time. There is skill involved. Not just anyone can make AI-videos like, say David Szauder.

I do agree there are IP issues to work out. Perhaps by embedding code in the image like a genetic makers mark, so AI-use is clear.

I agree with the museum pov. AI is swiftly becoming just another tool or medium in the artists toolbox. It is a pastel or a paintbrush. How skilled one is at wielding it is the thing.
