The two best teachers in life are
1. Hitting rock bottom
2. Putting in your 1000 hours
People avoid doing 2, so they hit 1 and then are ultimately forced to do 2, to then save themselves.
In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.
