The Golden Age Of AI-Generated Art Is Here "Artworks, made by AI trained on millions of human-created images, raise the question: Who is really the artist? Is it the person using the AI tool? The people who programmed it? Or is the creator now a distributed entity, spread among the countless artists and photographers who made the pictures that trained the AI? Most artists I spoke to who use AI image generation seem happy to call the output their own, but critics argue that this is not art in any sense we have previously understood the term."
