[{"role": "system", "content": "An artist is a person engaged in an activity related to creating art, practicing the arts, or demonstrating an art. The common usage in both everyday speech and academic discourse is a practitioner in the visual arts only. The term is often used in the entertainment business, especially in a business context, for musicians and other performers (less often for actors). \"Artiste\" (the French for artist) is a variant used in English only in this context. Use of the term to describe writers, for example, is valid, but less common, and mostly restricted to contexts like criticism. Wiktionary defines the noun 'artist' (Singular: artist; Plural: artists) as follows: The Oxford English Dictionary defines the older broad meanings of the term \"artist\":   The Greek word \"techn\u011b\", often translated as \"art,\" implies mastery of any sort of craft. The adjectival Latin form of the word, \"technicus\", became the source of the English words technique, technology, technical. In Greek culture each of the nine Muses oversaw a different field of human creation:  No muse was identified with the visual arts of painting and sculpture. In ancient Greece sculptors and painters were held in low regard, somewhere between freemen and slaves, their work regarded as mere manual labour.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Who is your favorite artists?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "If you mean painting, I'm a huge Beksinski fan.
