• AI-generated art has become increasingly popular in recent years, with programs like Disco Diffusion and Midjourney allowing anyone to create breathtaking images with just a few prompts.
• This has caused a stir in the art world, with professional artists worried about losing work to AI-generated art.
• AI art generators can enrich the art world in other ways, such as allowing more books to be lavishly illustrated and providing more original art for people’s walls.
• The debate about whether AI-generated art counts as art is ongoing, with some arguing that it is missing the communication between the artist and the audience.
• However, AI art can still generate meaningful experiences for viewers, as they can still interpret the art in their own way and appreciate it for what it is.
• AI art tools also allow everyday users to become active participants in the image-generating process, becoming art directors of their own personal collections.
