AI Artists?

The arts community seems to be rebelling against the simple existence of an AI-Artist. And although I am not capable of dissecting the definition of art, as an artist myself, I look at the work that some people have been doing with tremendous respect.

AI Art by José Parra (Chema Parsanz)

So I wrote an article on AI and creativity, featuring 5 artists that exemplify how AI art is way more than mindlessly writing a prompt.

A quote from it: “Out there in the world, there are some brave pioneers trying to understand how to be artistic through the tools of artificial intelligence. They are developing their style, their craft, their point of view. And even though I don't feel qualified to define what art is, their quest definitely makes me feel like they are up to something. So I picked a few of them that have been impressing me and inspiring me. Maybe from seeing their work, you will feel inspired too.”

And another one, way closer to the theme of this book: “For now, I chose to keep watching A.I. as someone watches a tiger, with the stunned fascination of someone ready to run. Even if deep inside I know it may be too late to escape, already…”

The piece was published on Muse by Clio, one of the most important publications about creativity in the world, under the name I use in my advertising career, PJ Pereira. Here’s the link to the article. And if you got confused about my two names and different careers, I explain more here.
