ChatGTP: “The fear is that AI-generated art might become a sort of fast-food version of culture: quick, convenient but lacking in substance. However, it’s worth considering the flip side: AI tools can also be seen as an extension of the artist’s palette - offering new ways to experiment and create. For centuries, artists have used tools and technologies from the printing press to the digital camera to push boundaries and explore new forms of expression. In this view, AI isn’t a replacement for human creativity but a catalyst that can inspire artists to stretch their imaginations further. The key here, I think, is intent and context. If AI-generated art is presented as a genuine expression of human emotion or experience, then yes,

we might feel that’s misleading or inauthentic. But if it’s used as a tool among many in the creative process, then it can add value without necessarily diminishing the art form. At the end of the day, what makes art, music or poetry resonate is not just the arrangement of words or notes, but the emotional and intellectual depth behind them. And that’s something AI, for all its technical prowess, can’t replicate.”

Interesting. Are you using AI as catalyst? I am not sure if I agree to if AI can't do something with the emotional and intellectual depth behind words. Maybe not for now, in the future possibly yes as AI is also involved in neuroscience, and over time can combine multiple people, even animals, and find new ways to express the combination of species and different inputs of emotions. Time will tell how human will interact with this. Maybe there is even more space for humanity to do creative expressions as there is more time if AI do other work as well.

I do, yeah, a cool result of which being that many people around the world can see, purchase and enjoy my art 🥳 About that more time = more creation argument: in my experience more time to create doesn’t necessarily lead to more creation. The primary cause of creation is the urge to create, which either is active in a person like a virus which over time magnifies the time, space and resources available to create more (AI being an example of a creative resource) - or it isn’t. Sorry techno-utopian thinking!
