It's the era of so-called AI. Generative digital art is in the hands of the prompters.
Human obsolescence is built-in and RG Collingwood is turning in his grave - this is not the world of art proper.

It's back to analog for me, even if AI ventures there... plus, for now, animated live drawing. That's my art world.

Death of digital. I did program a multi-device art app artiphi Studio, but seeing as even Google have developed a drawing app why not leave that to them. I'll still use artiphi Studio myself until it becomes obsolete on 'the latest OS' - prints of some of these digital finger paintings are available here.

In 2009 I put words to rest with a book called Collected Words. I know I know nothing so why think or write about it all? Full stop.

Point being, life is too short to keep up with all the latest this and thats.
