Creativity And The Fine Line Between Human And Artificial Intelligence
A few key strokes can create original art that rivals the great masters.
--
Startling, bold, and controversial, artificial intelligence is further encroaching on humanity’s creativity. OpenAI’s DALL·E 2 is an artificial intelligence platform that creates amazing art that completely blurs the line between artist and technology. It’s not just a simple creation that mimics an existing pattern, but photo-realistic art that is conjured by the user with simple phrases and a few keystrokes. Further, DALL·E 2 can take an existing image and create different variations of it inspired by the original. The results are so realistic that it is difficult to tell where the computer’s hand ends and human imagination begins.
This technology isn’t just changing the way we see art, but how we create it as well. With artificial intelligence platforms like DALL·E 2, anyone can be an artist. It democratizes creativity and makes the creation of art accessible to everyone—at least from a technological perspective.
But, is it art, or is it just a techno-copy of what humans have done before?
There are arguments to be made on both sides. On the one hand, you could say that artificial intelligence is just another tool that artists can use to create their masterpieces. After all, computers are already being used for things like music composition and visual effects in movies. So why not add art to the list?
On the other hand, you could argue that artificial intelligence is taking away from the creativity of artists. If a machine can create something, what does that say about the artist’s ability to create something original? There is no easy answer to this question. It’s something that will likely be debated in fine art salons and laboratories for years to come.
Perhaps the combination of both artist and AI will open a new vista to creativity and art. It will be interesting to see what the future holds. The results are interesting, to say the least. Some people love it, others hate it. But there’s no denying that it’s a brave new world out, and artificial intelligence is leading the charge. This raises questions about the role of artificial intelligence in human…
