How AI Art Emerged and Polarized the Art World

[1srelluc]

Artificial intelligence has been around for years, but AI-generated artwork has really taken off in 2022. With its growing presence and its rise in implementation, AI has proven to be a powerful yet controversial tool in the art world. Its use leads many to ask several questions: Is it art? Is it cheating? And who does the credit go to?


There's no doubt that AI is becoming increasingly more prevalent in the art world and beyond—these algorithmic concoctions are doing everything from winning art competitions to being the focus of exhibitions in distinguished museums like the MoMA. In an ever-changing world where technology is rapidly progressing and digital means are major vehicles for art, it makes sense that new ways of digital creation are formed. Whether the ethical implications are good or bad, AI-generated artwork is here and it’s on the rise.

AI art is still very much in its infancy in the mainstream, but there are several kinds of online communities for those that love to create it. From Instagram pages dedicated to sharing and challenging AI artists with creative prompts to small online forums and Discord channels, there is a lively place on the internet for those that enjoy the computerized art form.

Sure seems like there's a lot of hand-wringing goin' on.....Artists better learn to code.

For better or worse, there are social considerations against accepting AI produced art alongside the Dutch masters, for one example.

I think these considerations aren't going to be considered as relevant to many rightists. However, it will be important to the wealthy who can afford the real thing.

I thing it's no different than counterfeit works of art that can't be told from the original real thing. I categorize that as a social construct that isn't questioned.

"you" can have a fake hanging in your house that won't cost you more than a thousan bucks and no expert will see the difference. The only difference would be that there are a lot of guns hanging beside it, and that's the telltale giveaway.

OOOOOHHHHHH...........

I thought AI art meant a fucking robot did it.

If the guy use an online "canvas" to create the image then printed it out, it's still art. He created it, whether he used oils, pastels, watercolors, pencils, pens, markers, dog shit, piss, or some sort of fancy paint program....HE created it. It's not like he stole a picture from online and printed it out.

At least he actually created a piece of ART...........not scribbled some juvenile bullshit on a canvas and called it "art"!
