Very interesting. There is a principle with a lot of modern, abstract art, which is that the work is not complete until the viewer sees it - that is to say, the observer brings a portion of the meaning to the work. This AI art seems to go one step further, there isn't really an artist anymore, in the traditional sense. The creator of the work is more like an observer - choosing which output they like best. The "artist" becomes a consumer!
- redactyl 5y agoThe artist was already the consumer. Whatever the medium, the artist has to ultimately select particular things as "works of [their] art". If I paint my bathroom and then go on to paint a masterful painting, probably only one of those things is going to end up in a gallery, and that relies on there being a consumer.
