Artificial intelligence (AI) has made significant strides in the field of art creation, and it is now capable of creating works of art that are comparable to, and in some cases even better than, those created by humans. With the help of machine learning algorithms, AI can generate novel works of art based on human-supplied prompts. These tools are fed millions of written, visual, or aural samples of content that they can reference when creating AI-generated art.
AI-generated art is created through a collaboration between an artist and the AI. The artist inputs a prompt, and the AI visualizes it. For example, an image generated using the prompt Cat bunny AI Art would result in a cat with bunny-like features. AI-generated art has also expanded to video with the release of Google's Imagen Video and Meta's Make-A-Video. However, AI's new artistic prowess has not been without controversy. Some argue that AI-generated art challenges what it means to be creative, while others argue that true creativity is a uniquely human trait that involves originality, the recombination of disparate ideas, and human emotion. Despite these debates, AI-generated art has the potential to significantly impact the creative process, aesthetics, and audience.
