Why Ted Chiang's "Why A.I. Isn’t Going to Make Art" Is Both Right & Wrong.
In a recent essay for The New Yorker, Ted Chiang explores the capabilities of AI in art, asserting that "A.I. Isn’t Going to Make Art" because the creative processes require human nuance and intention that AI ostensibly lacks. While Ted Chiang articulates valid points about the nature of art and the role of AI, his title captures a paradox - it is both profoundly accurate and misleading. AI, in the literal sense, does not and cannot "make" art independently because, at its core, every piece of AI Art is human-made.
The Human Element in AI Art
The essence of AI art challenges traditional perceptions, merging technology with human creativity. Contrary to the idea that AI diminishes the artistic process, it actually extends the tools available to the artist, akin to the evolution from traditional to digital arts. As highlighted in discussions on platforms like NFT SurR Post, AI does not operate in isolation. Artists like Refik Anadol and many others utilize AI to parse large datasets, creating works that are visually stunning and conceptually profound, reflecting both the artist’s vision and the unique capabilities of the machine.
AI tools such as DALL-E, Runway, and Midjourney serve as instruments that require human operation and intention. The artist's role involves conceptualizing, formulating prompts, adjusting parameters, and ultimately selecting the final output from the iterations offered by the AI. This process is laden with human choices, making each piece of AI art a product of human artistic expression and technical skill.
Collectibles and AI Art
In the art collectibles market, the uniqueness and authenticity of an item determine its value. AI Art, viewed through this lens, opens a new realm of collectibles - digital creations that are rare not only in their final form but also in how they are made. Each piece of AI Art carries a signature not just of the machine's algorithms, but of the human artist’s intentions, conceptual decisions, stylistic preferences, and creative input. This duality makes AI Art a fascinating addition to the world of collectibles.
The emerging trend of AI Art collectibles challenges collectors and enthusiasts to reconsider what makes art valuable. Is it the exclusivity, uniqueness, rarity, the artist's fame, or the artistry inherent in the piece? As AI Art becomes more prevalent, these questions become increasingly pressing, inviting a broader discussion about art, technology, and value in the digital age.
How Many Choices Did Marcel Duchamp Make to Forever Change Art?
AI and Artistic Evolution
Just as Marcel Duchamp redefined what could be considered art, the rise of AI art challenges us to reconsider the nature of artistic creation. Critics argue that AI lacks intention and emotion; however, if art is about conveying ideas and eliciting emotional responses, then AI art, guided by human direction, also has the potential to be recognized as a legitimate form of art.
Redefining Art
The debate isn't about whether AI can create art, but about how we define art in a technologically evolving world. Duchamp taught us to see art in the concept rather than in the creation itself; similarly, AI artists, by utilizing AI tools, compel us to appreciate how art evolves with technology, advocating for a more inclusive understanding that embraces new forms of creativity.
Ted Chiang’s assertion that 'A.I. Isn’t Going to Make Art' holds a kernel of truth - artificial intelligence by itself cannot create art without human intervention. However, it is precisely this collaboration between human artistry and technological advancement that is producing new forms of art, challenging our understanding of creativity and authorship. As we move forward, the art world must adapt and expand its definitions and appreciation of what constitutes art in the digital age. AI Art is not just a technological novelty but a new frontier in artistic expression that artists and collectors alike are just beginning to explore.
