And if so, what does that say about art ... or, for that matter, about AI?

If it's AI is it Art?

That it is a thing that only humans can do
I pick no.
For me, art is the expression of experience as human persons in our cosmos...AI does not have experience. Not yet, at least.

I think saying AI cannot create art is short-sighted. What is talent, inspiration, and creativity other than taking information available and transposing it into some form, whether that be visual, audio, print, or so on. The “artist” chooses what information to use, the techniques to use, and so on. But those choices are the result of chemical processes in the brain and firing neurons. How is AI any different? AI will select what information to use, will decide the techniques, and so on, and its choices are the result of its own computer processes “firing.”
Wonderful idea for thread!

If AI ever became sentient then I may credit it with the ability to do art
But until then it is just a glorified calculator
Mindless and no sense of self
Only humans make baseless claims with such ease.
Setting aside that AI isn't really AI (tech bros really jumped the gun on calling large learning models "intelligence")?
If you only value product and not process, sure - it's art.
If you understand that process matters more than product, no - it's not art.

I would say that AI could be a tool for artists...
I think one of the defining features of art is that it is made by humans
So by definition a non human cannot make art
It just copies and mimics, it knows what art looks like and then mimics it
There is something a bit cargo cult about AI "art"

Anything and everything that is understood as art by someone is art.
Apparently not only humans:
I view art as a manifestation of the creative aspect of the soul. I just don't believe only humans have souls. I do agree that AI cannot create art or anything because it's just a machine or program, and cannot express anything as there's nothing internal for it to express. It cannot imagine.
I love pigs, they are more intelligent than dogs
I feel bad about eating them
Someone once said that cats look down at you, dogs look up to you, but pigs treat you as their equal
I love them, too. It sucks but I don't feel bad as I accept it as part of life and nature, and I love all life, anyway. We can certainly do better at treating them more humanely. She was a great ambassador for her species.
Now wild boars...screw them. They're violent ********. Lol

It can be a tool, the same as paint can be.

So you can tell for sure if some music you heard was created with AI or not?
It may be harder with instruments but you can definitely tell when it's a computer "singing".

Oh, beat me to it.
It is possible to be fooled by AI, yes

Not what I've created. I played one to some friends (with no explanation) and they all went "oh, Stevie Nicks..."
