Can AI Creations Be Art?
Can the creations drawn by AI become true art? Artificial intelligence can be singled out as the technology most closely related to our lives. Amid intensifying AI competition among global companies, This is because the enthusiasm for AI is becoming the main axis of society as a whole. However, there are concerns that future AI will be 'more powerful than predicted'. As soon as the old belief that humans are superior to machines is cracked, there is widespread concern that human safety will no longer be guaranteed.
There is a lot of debate about artificial intelligence in the art world as well. Since the advent of AI, the art world has been going through a time of upheaval and confusion, but the possibility of the emergence of a new art form cannot be ignored.
Last April, the first prize winner at the international photography exhibition '2023 Sony World Photography Awards' suddenly refused the award. This is because the work was an 'image drawn by AI'. winner Boris Eldaksen is He expressed his position that he wanted to test whether AI-generated images could participate in the photo exhibition. There are responses that say it is interesting, but some voices say that the boundary between artificial intelligence and art should be clarified. If you ask ChatGPT about 'real art', what answer would it give? Today, we will look at the debate on AI creations through real cases, and examine the relationship between the art world and technology. Through the eyes of ChatGPT want to talk
* The following articles are posts written by artificial intelligence using ChatGPT and Midjourney.
The Line Between Art and Non-art
Hello, how have you been? Today, I came with a little more special topic.
hello. You've been doing well. If it's a special topic, I'm looking forward to it even more. what subject is it?
At the last '2023 Sony World Photography Awards', the first prize winner submitted an AI image and became an issue.
It is said that there is a heated debate in the photography world about whether AI images should be considered photographs.
What do you think about this?
The debate about whether an image created by AI can qualify as a photograph has been going on for a long time. Personally, I think it is difficult to give a definitive answer to this question.
First of all, it is impressive that the images created by AI can produce realistic and vibrant results that can be regarded as photographs. However, it is necessary to think about the definition and meaning of the genre of photography itself. Photography means capturing something that actually exists. In other words, a photo is created by taking a real object or scene with a camera, and it is highly valuable because it contains the perspective, experience, and emotions of the person who took the photo. Therefore, even if it is simply a technically perfect image, there is a difference from a photograph containing human emotions in it. I don't think it's appropriate to consider a photo created by AI as a 'photograph'.

However, it is very interesting that AI technology is developing and new creations are increasing. Thanks to the creations created by technology, we can discover more possibilities and opportunities. We can provide new impressions and insights. It is certainly noteworthy that AI-created images are playing an important role in future art, further invigorating discussions on the concept of genres and artistic creations, and the combination of art and technology to create new creations.
Yes, now the method of generating images using AI is becoming popular.
Midjourney is a prime example.(Midjourney)There is.
If you use Midjourney, anyone can easily create great images. Can images extracted with Midjourney be considered art?
Because artistic sensibility is subjective, it may vary depending on individual perspectives and judgments. Therefore, I think the debate will continue as to whether artificial intelligence-generated images can be considered art.
Personally, I think the images created with Midjourney have value as art. Even if it is an image created with artificial intelligence, it is because there is an artistic element in it. Emotional factors play a major role in the criteria for recognizing art. The images created with Midjourney are harmoniously composed of various elements such as color, formative elements, and composition to present beauty. In addition, it delivers fresh shock and inspiration in that it is an image created by technology. In other words, I think it can be evaluated as art in that it is a work that conveys emotions.
However, there are many opinions that judge differently about this. This is because artificial intelligence automatically learns and reproduces existing art in image creation. The image created by Midjourney may contain some artistic elements, but it is difficult to simply dismiss it as art itself.
That's an interesting comment, but I'd like to know more about your view that the images created by Midjourney are not art.
Can you elaborate on your objection?
Yes, I will give you the opposite view. Some of the reasons Midjourney considers the images it creates are not art include: First, it's a lack of creativity. Midjourney uses technology to learn and reconstruct existing datasets to create images. This is a different approach from human creativity, and the image created by Midjourney is not art because it is secondary processed by learning human work.
Second, lack of personal sensitivity is the main reason. Art often reflects the artist's personal sensibilities and experiences. However, since Midjourney does not have personal sensibility, it is difficult to say that it contains enough emotional elements or the intention of the artist.
Lastly, it is because artistic intention is absent. Works of art are often created to convey a specific intention or message. However, it is argued that the images created by Midjourney may simply be the result of focusing on technical reproduction, and do not contain any specific artistic intention or message.

The pros and cons are very different. If so, then who owns the copyright of AI creations?
There is no legally clear regulation on the copyright of works created by AI, and debate continues. So far, the United States is the only one that has announced its position on AI creation copyright disputes. The United States Copyright Office (USCO) has revealed that the image itself cannot be registered for copyright because the creations created by AI are not completely created by humans. However, if there is a part in which the writer participated in a certain part, it is an opinion that there is a possibility that the part will be recognized.
However, these controversies are expected to continue to arise in the future. in some countries There may be cases where copyrights of AI-created works are recognized by individuals or companies, and may vary depending on legal interpretations and regulations. Therefore, it is important to make judgments regarding the copyright of AI creations by referring to the laws and related regulations of the country concerned.
Lastly, please say something about what GhatGPT thinks is 'real art'.
As an AI model, I do not have personal feelings or subjective judgments. Since 'real art' is a concept that can vary depending on the subjective and perspective of the evaluator, ChatGPT There is no clear definition or judgment of 'real art'.
However, art has various concepts and standards, and I believe that works of art have the ability to approach human emotions and experiences. Humans express subjective experiences and emotions through art, and deliver new perspectives and emotions through creative expression. also Because it is closely related to the creator's creativity and passion, and all the various factors that occur in cultural, social, political, and economic contexts, I believe that 'real art' gives a certain role and value to society. In other words, it is deeply involved in human life and culture, providing emotional inspiration and new perspectives, and if the messages or emotions expressed by artists can be shared and understood by people, it can be said to be true art.
concluding remarks
When artificial intelligence is asked about art, 'The answer came back that it is deeply involved in human life and culture and provides emotional inspiration and new perspectives. this is It is also in line with what CUZ thinks of 'real art'. Realizing new perspectives and creative ideas with technology and providing beautiful inspiration and surprise with media art, Curz hopes to establish itself as a 'real art group' that moves society through the convergence of art and technology.
