I'm

curious, how does this differ ind where does the a i come into play? Because if you think about the three printers that say, or any printer relate, it's just, you know, you give it a file, you say, go, and it starts curning out in producing the output. You could have done that is like v one. But when did the a i actually make an appearance? I i have lots of small routines that do things like organized colors, take care of contrast. But there's one time i left

the robot running. And i came back and the painting was half finished, and t was just painting away, but there was no brush in the robot arm. The brush, it had malfunctioned. Somehow the brush had clided with something that knocked the ush off ad. But the robot was still painting like a dumb printer, an riht, like an unintelligent printer, just going through the motions of painting. But every time it would dip its brush into the paint, there's no brush, so it would make no strokes. And then i just realized at that moment, i sike, this is just, this has got to be smarter. And that if it drops its brush, it has to know, and it has to change what it's doing. And so i added cameras. And this is likein two thousand seven or two thousand eight, but i added cameras. I introduced this feedback loop. An i think this, i still use this as i still think this is the most important algrithm to it all. But every couple of strokes, it takes a step back, takes a picture of the canvas, and then asks itself, how's this coming along? It's that feedback. I sak, exactly what an artist does. An abstract expressionist will throw some paint on the canvas, take a step back from the canvas and say, hey, what did that do? And use that input as input to its next strokes. So i think that's the most important ogrithm, these feedback loops, taking a picture of the progress and then trying to make decisions from there of what to do next.
