Just because A.I is good at doing some jobs and helps a lot in many areas doesn't mean that ART should be 1 of them. A.I ''art'' is not ART at all but a computer generated output with ZERO real human effort. If A.I ''artists'' can be considered artists, then people who puts a T.V. dinner in a microwave can be called a ''Cook'' or a "Chef''.
The validity (or non-) of using AI in one's art requires at least an approachable concept (not necessarily a 'definition') of what '"ART" is or isn't. If that concept of validity can can be applied here at all, we must also acknowledge that - optimally - it should not be very dependent upon our own tastes in artistic expression. Are there, then, any boundaries to where 'art' may reside? Our interest in being a viewer or subscriber at F95 might be labeled as 'visual,' or 'graphic., but maybe we can detach ourselves from that momentarily and look at a different format that we might all acknowledge as a valid form of art.
We may or may not like reading poetry, but -- can it be said that a poem is at least one valid format for artistry - whether or not a given poem is written well? I think that most of us would acknowledge that it is. Perhaps one key element that could distinguish a 'poem' from other textual forms of expression is simply the intention of the writer. Another might be whether or not this piece of writing - at least in short form - generates a feeling or an image in your mind and does so concisely. What about rhyming? Lots of poetry features rhyming, but lots of it also doesn't. There are more complex elements that would need to be present for a poetry expert to acknowledge that a written work is truly a 'poem,' but we don't have to explore that.
Could a chat-bot INTEND to create a poem? Could it create a unique piece of writing that spontaneously generates an emotion or an image that wasn't directly fed into it's storage?
If we answer "yes," then presenting common, recognizable examples of this would be challenging. A "no" answer to those questions would seem to suggest that writing or imagery that's supplied by a machine may be beautiful or appealing to us, but classifying that as artistry MIGHT be invalid.
