- In my opinion, A.I generated art shouldn’t be considered real art because it lacks the emotions and creative process that comes from human Artists. A.I doesn’t have the ability to feel emotions or pull ideas from personal experiences. In fact, it depends on gathering material from the internet to put together images, Kevin Roose explains in the article “An A.I generated picture won an Art prize. Artists aren’t happy.” Roose states “Apps like DALL-E 2 and Midjourney are built by scraping millions of images from the open web, then teaching algorithms to recognize patterns and relationships in those images and generate new ones in the same style. The operation of A.I generated art highlights how A.I lacks originality and authenticity, as it solely gives out existing work which doesn’t showcase true creative expression.
- I believe artists have valid concerns about A.I generated art, as it lacks originality A.I isn’t able to create new concepts, Rather it’s “thought process” is based on pre-existing images and ideas, which ends in work that lacks substance. Furthermore it can be used dishonestly. Sarah Kuta states in her article “Art Made With Artificial Intelligence Wins at State Fair”, “These technologies have the potential to spread disinformation and create deep fakes, an umbrella term for deceptive photos and videos that are digitally altered.” This shows the possible negative uses of A.I, beyond just creating art.
