I’ve been pondering this issue for a while and would love to hear different views. With the rise of AI tools like DALL-E and Midjourney, many people are generating images and labeling them as art. However, I question whether this should truly be recognized as artistic creation.
When someone uses an AI system to produce an image through a prompt, can we say they are creating art? It seems distinct from the dedicated effort of an artist who invests countless hours into crafting a piece by hand. In this scenario, isn’t the AI performing the majority of the work?
I’m interested in others’ perspectives on this matter. Should we regard AI-generated images on the same level as traditional art forms or human-created digital artwork? Or is there an essential difference in the creative process when AI steps in?
Perhaps I’m being a bit traditional, but it feels like labeling AI results as “art” could be a stretch. What are your thoughts?
