Why AI-Generated Art Is So Popular

If you’re on social media, you’ll undoubtedly have seen the craze over AI-generated portraits. While art generated by artificial intelligence is by no means new, it has finally captivated the general public in a way it hadn’t before. Perhaps it’s due to the involvement of the ego, and people’s fascination with seeing their own image replicated in fine art. With this sudden and sweeping rise in popularity, it’s the perfect time to dive deeper into this robot-fueled phenomenon. Has your curiosity led you to try your luck with an artificially intelligent “artist”? As AI-generated art becomes more mainstream, we find it fascinating (and essential) to dive deeper into this radical advancement in creative technology. From the ethical issues to the worldwide excitement, we’re embarking on a mission to explore the pros and cons of AI-generated artwork.

Is AI-Generated Art Ethical?

As AI-generated artwork takes over the modern art world, it isn’t without unavoidable controversies. This begs the question – is AI-generated art ethical? For example, artificial intelligence must source their images from somewhere. Oftentimes, AI is using a compilation of creative styles from artists online. Arguably, this could be regarded as a theft of intellectual property. The robot is not responsible for creating the art from scratch; it is only compiling images that already exist. The line is thin between being inspired by an artist’s style, and stealing the likeness of their work. It is almost impossible to regulate the appropriation of art in AI-generated images. Should we accept this as a necessary evil in the advancement of art and technology, or do we make an effort to control the effect?

What Does AI Art Mean for the Future?

While the progression of this technology is unarguably exciting, it also forces us to look into the future of art itself. If computers can generate a seemingly “perfect” painting, will this make artists obsolete? One could argue that taking away the human component of creativity changes the definition of “art” all together. Can artificial intelligence evoke emotion the same way a human can? This discourse prompts us to question the very definition of art. If art is something that is simply visually pleasing, the perfection of AI will have the human hand beat. Others would argue that the disposable and instantaneous nature of AI-generated art gives it little to no value.
