AI "Art".

Art by definition is an expression of the human spirit. Whether you believe that spirit to be an energetic consciousnesses or a lineage of DNA, makes no difference to the arguments. As such, AI generated art, is not art. It is at best “art product”. Just as certain foods have to be labeled “food product” because they lack too many of the defining attributes of natural food.

It is interesting that the supporters of AI art fall into 3 distinct categories. Firstly, artists who have a very low opinion of their own art. Secondly, consumers who want to pretend they are artists. And thirdly, producers who’s top priority is profit. None of these 3 have a proper respect of art. Many of them lack understanding of art altogether. They see the world of art through the destructive lens of their own self doubt, greed, jealousy and/or ignorance.

Real art is made with real inspiration. Inspiration is a force of nature and can not be synthesized by an over zealous world of petty technocrats wishing to make us all equally mundane. It is only the envious and the lazy who wish for a cheap faux alternative to the creative process. One that makes a world of copycat posers with delusions of artistic grandeur. AI art, whether music or visual, is a house of cards. It will fail. It will fall and as it does, it will destroy as much real art and artists as it can. However, those true artists who survive will rise like a phoenix, because the human spirit shall not be extinguished.
