AI-generated images<\/a> struggle to accurately depict complex elements like human hands and produce statistically improbable scenes<\/b>, such as “a horse riding an astronaut.”<\/p>\nThe Flood of Mediocre AI Art and Its Impact<\/h2>\n
AI’s capability to produce large volumes of content quickly is both a strength and a weakness. It can flood the internet with mediocre art<\/b>, making genuine, high-quality works harder to find.<\/p>\n
Artist Del Walker said, \u201cYou know what I realized about AI images in your marketing? It sends out the message that you’ve got no budget. It’s the digital equivalent of wearing an obviously fake Chanel bag<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n
Text generators like ChatGPT have also inundated literary spaces with subpar works.<\/p>\n
Neil Clarke, founder of the sci-fi magazine Clarkesworld, had to halt submissions because of the overwhelming number of AI-generated entries<\/b>.<\/p>\n
While grammatically correct, these stories lacked the deep understanding and subtext that make human storytelling compelling.<\/p>\n
The Question of Ethical and Original Use<\/h2>\n
Visual artists have long used machine learning creatively<\/b>, but today’s AI tools often obscure the creative process.<\/p>\n
Conceptual artist Anna Ridler, who uses GANs (generative adversarial networks), highlights the contrast between her method and the black-box nature of tools like DALL-E.<\/p>\n
Ridler’s work involves training AI on datasets that she\u2019s created <\/b>to ensure a unique artistic vision.<\/p>\n
In contrast, popular AI tools use vast, uncurated datasets from the internet, leading to generic outputs.<\/b><\/p>\nAI in Entertainment: A Future Full of Uncertainty<\/h2>\n
AI is already being used in film to create backgrounds <\/b>and even to replicate actors’ voices<\/b>. However, the idea of fully AI-generated movies and music remains contentious.<\/p>\n
While some envision a future where AI creates hyper-personalized entertainment, others question whether this is desirable.<\/p>\n
Marvel filmmaker Joe Russo imagines a world where people could star in AI-generated movies <\/b>tailored to their preferences. But is this what audiences truly want from art?<\/p>\nThe Ethical and Practical Concerns of AI Art<\/h2>\n
The rise of AI-generated content poses significant ethical and practical challenges. Artists worry about their work being used without consent<\/b> to train AI models.<\/p>\n
As fiction writer Steven Zapata said, the potential for AI to mimic human creators can be demoralizing and threaten livelihoods.<\/b><\/p>\n
Cory Doctorow, a science fiction author and tech critic, emphasizes the need to ensure that AI does not disproportionately benefit tech companies at the expense of artists.<\/p>\n
The Real Value of Human Creativity<\/h2>\n
Despite AI’s potential, human creativity remains irreplaceable<\/b>. Great art challenges, comforts, and inspires in ways AI cannot replicate.<\/p>\n
Cory Doctorow suggests that while AI might one day produce noteworthy art, it currently lacks the ability to create works with the depth and meaning that humans can<\/b>.<\/p>\nThe Future of AI in Art<\/h2>\n
As AI technology advances, it will continue to influence the creative industries.<\/p>\n
However, the unique qualities of human creativity and the ethical considerations surrounding AI’s use ensure that AI-generated art will not fully replace human-made art.<\/p>\n
The future of art lies in balancing technological innovation while still preserving human creativity and originality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10026,"featured_media":172064,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[410],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-172062","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-art-and-culture"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172062"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10026"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=172062"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172062\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/172064"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=172062"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=172062"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=172062"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
