Art = the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.
Yes. Based on the definition you gave. AI can absolutely be used to create art.
The art AI that exist now all require some form of human prompting. Only the bar has been raised, so it might be easier to create what would take a non-AI artist years of training now, but the true professionals will be able to shine above the rest.
As with everything, it's not going to "kill" art as much as the photograph or photoshop "killed" art.
@richard_gao2 Totally agree with you, my friend. Great way of thinking, those who'll have eyes to see, will use it in great ways. Thank you for sharing your thoughts π
@catherine_norris I don't think AI it's about replacing, it's more about adding, it's just a more advanced tool. I agree, handmade it's always better, it contains life within. Thank you π
Interesting topic. I guess, as with anything in life, there's a time and a place for it. I, for one, really enjoy the human aspects of art (as so nicely described above). I find it incredibly rewarding and relaxing to use my creative skills and imagination, and I would be sad to lose out on that. But not everyone will feel that way, and this is a nice solution to bridge the gap if you need a unique work of art (minus the dopamine rush).
Can it be seen as REAL art without the human element? I guess time will tell.
@carla_kargaard@savian_boroanca I don't feel like AI is without the human element, mostly because it's a tool which needs to be handled by a human touch. Also there is a lot of art in this world that it's not humanly made, God knows. I find this field so interesting. Thanks for sharing your thoughts π
Difficult topic, @adrian14.
I have mixed feelings. Even though I believe AI is here to make our lives easier in so many ways, I can't help but feel like art should still have a human, imperfect component. That's what makes art special, UNIQUE to me.
An AI can generate millions of images for example in seconds. Where's the unicity in that? π€
@livia_burbulea I take it as a tool. I guess it depends on how it makes you feel. If it makes you feel something, by itself it impplies the human part. Also I dont find AI as something perfect, it's done by humans π€£ It's so interesting π
@adrian14@amaury_amapakabo I guess when you look at it this way, it makes sense. Thanks for sharing your vision, guys, it made me question mine (which is always a good thing) :D
AI can be used to generate media, not art. Like you said - art is an expression and when usually when these pieces are bought - they compensate for the time spent by a human to create the piece.
So while, AI can help generate media that can be used for enhancing / improving something. I don't necessarily believe, it'll help generate art per se.
This is a loaded question, I feel.
Recently, I've seen more and more artists upset to find that their works have been used without their knowledge in AI databases, from which the AI learn how to create images.
That means that if an artist has spent years developing their craft and personal style, an AI trained on pictures of that artist's work can replicate that style in minutes.
So if a computer produces an image that highly resembles one made by an artist, is that art as well? How about authorship? Is the author the person who came up with the text prompt given to the AI in order to generate the image? Should it be the thousands of people who've made the images that make up the AI's database? Art has always been in a way iterative; new artists always get inspired by art they've seen while they developed their craft. And yet, can it ever be... too much?
I don't think the answer is that simple, and probably there isn't even a single answer out there to this question.
@xgrv So let's say you are an organic computer with a divine component, why you can get inspired and call yourself an artist? You should give credits to all the artists that inspired you? Let's be serious. The most important element in art are the feelings, in my opinion. The tool doesnt matter, the main target is to make people feel!
Interesting answer, thank you for sharing your thoughts
Yes, currently there is a lot of AI tools which can generate art from just text as well. AI is advancing each day, you can search for meta new project where we can generate videos just from writing text.
But even if AI can generate art at 100% accuracy, but it won't be able to convince that emotions through its art.
Art is about the skills, showing emotion, feelings which only we humans are best atπ
Seeing so many Generated AI start-ups that succeed, I think the answer is yes. Art can and should be created by using these tools, in 2022. What do you think @miti_lucian_constantin@savian_boroanca? I know you guys are big fans of AI.
@miti_lucian_constantin@savian_boroanca@adriana_virlan Agreed. New generation of artist will be those who will be coding the AI to generate art. From another perspective, the AI developer is the person applying human creative skill and imagination.
I looked at some AI generated images, and I have just one word: DAAAYYUUUUM!
Neural nets are made to imitate a human brain so if something similar to a human is creating a picture, a song, everything that is creative, then it's definitely art.
I believe art is a very subjective term. It all depends on how one defines it or not defines it. To some AI created "art" is not valuable and for some it is a different form of artistic expression. I'm not an artist but I'd like to know your POV on this.
@jacopo_lai In my vision Art it's more about experience/feelings than it's about the way of executing it. Everyone it's a constant artist by itself, even if it likes it or not haha. Life's about creating π let's take advantage of it
Ummm , yes. I am in process of optimizing an Art for my living room using Dall-E, and its coming out really well. Unfortunate but its coming up faster than we could have anticipated.
AI is definitely helpful in any execution work, however, most of which is well defined otherwise AI art could be a disaster. My opinion is that, AI compels human to think more strategically, and AI cannot steal any job that requires goal setting and decision making.
Yay it can be used - to help people Create:) it can help to an impressive extent though, like illustration depending on one simple statement. But still, that simplest statement in words is an Idea that human creates.
I would say yes. But... take into account creativity. Picasso created his own style, Jackson Pollock created his own style. AI just replicates something that is already known. The real artist is almost like an inventor. Maybe AI is a new "creation" itself, but can't create something that had not existed before.
@minimalistphone Totally agree, I see it more as a tool. The real artist it's in everyone, it's more about feelings, in my opinion. Thank you for sharing your thoughts π
I know that this is controversial but, yes, definitely!
When I saw what Dall E was able to do, I simply couldn't believe it. I think AI will change the world for the better and actually, you still have to be quite skilled at telling the AI what you want to get something good... So perhaps the next Leonardo Da Vinci will be using AI to enhance his works?
Who knows ahah!
@amaury_amapakabo Great vision, my friend. I also think that AI will change the world too, in good, if it's used by the right hands.
Can't wait for the next Leonardo! haha
Art is human. AI is an impressive tool.
AI can be used to make art - but it's lacking in any real artistry, so much about what makes good art has nothing to do with the end product.
The difference is that good art takes time, dedication, intention, sacrifice, patience, human experience and a lot more.
AI can be used, But Artists create arts based on their inspirations and thoughts and where people value it...so I do not consider AI use in creating arts.
@adrian14 as tool for also ...it has it effects on creation as it is designed to work with as intelligent tool.. ad human brain is a different and no AI can take it over..
Do you consider code created by no-code/low-code software to be real code?
I think AI art is still in its infancy and will become more complex as it matures, giving people more options to express themselves. Maybe this is an art right now but it has a chance to become one.
