The Ethics of Artificially-Generated Art

The cover image for this post was generated by AI. The prompt “generate an image for a post describing AI art” was placed into ChatGPT, and the result was interesting. This begins to beg the question: is AI-generated art real art?

The arguments for AI art:

  • AI art can still move and inspire
  • Algorithms can learn and develop skills like humans
  • AI is meant to improve people’s lives
  • Artists working with AI are not worried about being replaces
    • AI does not produce artwork alone

The arguments against AI art:

  • AI art lacks the human emotion to create art
  • AI art is not original
  • AI cannot come up with new, artistic ideas
  • It can be difficult to replicate the same results twice
