AI art

[DerVVulfman]

“Art” and “intelligence” are two notoriously difficult terms to define. As such, it is no surprise that the boundaries of AI-generated art are unclear. This, an actual quote from the Harvard Journal of Law & Technology.

I recognize that Google's DeepDreams may have caused a stir, taking various animal photographs, using an AI algorithm to detect patterns, and create art that sold for $8000 in a gallery. Even moreso when J. Walter Thompson Amsterdam developed a system that studied Rembrandt's paintings and made its own!

AI systems generally (1) take input of various sources, (2) learn from the sources, (3) develop its own composition, and (4) render the composition in the form of audio or video art.

But, the questions would be if one was making AI art with their own innate work, or if they used public domain content, or if the art presented was even AI generated at all? If the creator/publisher chooses not to label the work as AI generated, of if the generation was solely based on their own content, how can it be enforced without worry about any other medium being submitted?

One could suggest that the generated music from a synthesizer may be partially AI, some soundfonts having been pre-recorded live content and converted. Or if not, then a live product digitally remastered by way of an AI system.

As it stands, there is quite little that can be done, even if the person posting admits producing it via AI.
