A painting created by a robotic dog sold for $40,000 at a charity auction to raise money for Ukrainian refugees.

The piece, Sunrise March, was painted in the New York studio of Polish-American artist Agnieszka Pilat. The dog, “Spot,” is a creation of Boston Dynamics and retails online for a cool $75,000.

The auction took place Friday night at the San Francisco home of Olympic gold-medal figure skater Brian Boitano and his partner, singer Franc D’Ambrosio. Proceeds from the show will go directly to the Polish Dominican Friars, who are providing aid on the front lines of the conflict.
===================================
Incredible robotics. Asimov should have lived to see it.

That robot dog's art is better than Hunter Biden's.

But sadly it's not the robot dog that created the art. The programmer who programmed the robot and chose the paint colors and the canvas is the true artist.

The robot dog merely served as the pain-brush.
