Portrait oil painting Timelapse using AI generated art inspiration, improving my art skills

Hi, my spare time hobby is oil painting portraits. With the current rise of AI generated artwork such as Mid Journey I was both interested and worried it would replace traditional artists. I checked instagram and there were so many amazing concepts and ideas. The character detail and level of sophistication amazed me. But then I got to thinking, a few weeks ago I painted an old man with an elaborate head dress. As I recall it was a friend of the artist who was simply dressed up to act as a model. Perhaps that is what AI could be for me. A way of accessing interesting people to paint. I had a look around and found an image I liked(check out instagrams peopleplacesparallelworld ). Could I improve my oil painting portrait skills and techniques as well When painting I pushed myself to concentrate on the form and color, as it took shape I worked on the details, thinking back to previous portrait paintings and how great artists had handled them.
