More Disruption in the Art World…Generative AI Art Weapons of Mass Disruption

What is art? Emerging technologies have always created new means for self-expression, a generative artificial intelligence such as DALL-E and and Stable Diffusion are two of the newest tools. When an AI generated picture won a prize in the Colorado State Fair last summer, there was a public outcry – did the image really qualify as art or was it simply a data analytics effort? When generative AI is used, is the resultant image truly creative? Is it truly art? On this episode of WMD, Dr. Tamara Schwartz is joined once again by digital art curator Capucine Jenkins, to discuss the implications of generative AI and the future of art.
