Pop quiz: What can humans do that AI cannot? *cue Jeopardy music*. I promise this is not a trick question. OK, time is up: the answer is: be imperfect.

Zentangle art is AI proof. Minor imperfections (not mistakes!) like uneven lines, mistrokes and other “oppsies” are something only people can do. When you look at a tile, you can see those variations that add texture to the tile. They prove that when you look at Zentangle Art, you are looking at something that was created by a person. (In fact, I once asked ChatGPT to draw a Zentangle; it said that as a machine, it couldn’t do it. Instead, it offered to give me some prompts.)

This is another reason why we say there are no mistakes in Zentangle. Proof of humanity. And that is something worth appreciating.

With Gratitude,
