AI + Art = ?

Home Arts Art AI + Art = ? ArtsArt The height of civilization. Courtesy Truth Social I blame AI for doing what I’ve always hated about the drawing/painting/sculpting process: making it performative. Now, workaday visual artists need to post Reels of themselves plying their medium. The point is to say, “This is not AI. There is a real human being behind this art.” As with most things interwebs-related, the more photogenic artists go viral while the not-nearly-as-photogenic stay stuck in anonymity. When likeability comes before quality, the entirety of the artform sinks. You see it in TV journalism/“journalism,” in writing, definitely in filmmaking — talent can be taught, while viral looks and personality cannot. Color me backward for thinking the visual arts eschewed such nonsense. What a rube I was. That’s one negative impact of AI in the art world among a whole lot more, including intellectual forgery, plagiarism, and Donald Trump’s stupid Truth Social posts of him with muscles.
