AI Arts: What It Means To Human Creativity
Social media is filled with people trying AI-generated art and there is a debate going on as well whether it is really ethical to generate AI art, which is considered to be a negative trend as many artists are challenged. What is this AI art and how were they originated? Why is there a sudden increase in popularity? Let's dive into some facts and history.
The first time an artist used a computer to create art, the result was an abstract painting called Composition No. 1 created in 1952 by British mathematician and artist Desmond Paul Henry. He was inspired by Kandinsky's Suprematism movement and wanted to create something that wasn't based on reality or what he saw around him outside his studio window.
Since then, we have come a long way in AI arts and the recent rise in the number of people who are interested in AI-generated art is becoming higher every day.
But while AI can be trained to imitate human creativity, it's difficult to say whether this new type of art is actually creative because creativity is subjective and there's no definite definition for what qualifies as creative work.
AI can also be trained to generate original works of visual art based on concepts or images that its users show it
AI can also be trained to generate original works of visual art based on concepts or images that its users show it. For example, an AI program might be asked to create a painting inspired by the Mona Lisa (or any other famous painting). The program would then use its own creativity to come up with an image that is unlike anything else out there.
AI can also be trained to generate original works of visual art based on concepts or images that its users show. In one example, an AI program was able to create portraits based on the input of one person's face.
That is how people create AI portraits of themselves using their photographs. And some even claim they look better as AI art than in real life.
Even though AI is able to produce art that looks like it came from the hands of a real artist, most people don't consider them truly creative because AI doesn't have the same motivations as human artists do.
AI art is so good that some people think it's the real thing. This can be confusing because AI doesn't have the same motivations as human artists do, and it can't understand the meaning behind its own creations.
AI is only able to create art that looks like it came from the hands of a real artist because they don’t have any form of creativity or self-expression in themselves. The only way for an AI program to truly express itself would be through input from another source, such as humans or computers using sensors (like cameras).

While some experts don't consider AI-generated art true creativity, others feel differently.

"Artificial intelligence is a very powerful tool for artists," says Alex Hecht, founder of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute and author of "Artificial Creativity". "It can generate images that look like they were created by humans."
The question of whether or not AI can be considered creative has been debated since its inception. Some argue that while it has some similarities with human creativity—such as being able to create something novel—it isn't actually creative because it doesn't have access to any kind of inspiration or knowledge beyond what was preprogrammed into its algorithms.
Others believe that while we may not be able to say anything definitively about whether AI-generated art is truly creative yet (or ever will be), we should still recognize its potential value in our society today.
It's hard to say whether AI art is really creative because creativity is subjective and there's no definite definition for what qualifies. Some people might find it creative, but others may not.
Computer programs have become an important element of our personal and professional lives. They can be thought of as a canvas, brush, musical instrument, and so on. By ingesting large datasets in order to analyse patterns and build predictive models, AI art has long proved itself superior to human art at some points.
While most internet users have embraced this supercharged creative potential – armed with the correctly refined prompt, even novices can now create arresting digital canvases – some artists have baulked at the new technology’s capacity for mimicry.
It's clear that AI can produce some pretty impressive art, but it's not yet ready for the big time. While we leave whether it is ethical or not to use AI-generated art, it is commendable how far AI technology has evolved. We are yet to see what this development has in store for the users and the artists as well.
But one thing is for sure: AI art is here to stay.
