Computer generated artwork- a footnote
Just adding this as there has been discussions in the past around AI generated art (eg Dall-E, Midjourney etc). This was driven somewhat by the competition run by the FS founders, which more or less legitimized the artform as working within the confines of photography.
I have researched somewhat myself and added commentaries to my website as software was evolving. This is not an 'artform' (used in brackets as the software remains the creator of output) I intend on following, but thought it of interest to understand.
The reason I write this is that I have just come across a video highlighting the forecasted impact of AI on the music industry, more specifically new music created by AI without any musical knowledge by the end user.
I know how this may be a little off track, but I find comments and results in the video remarkably similar to those that apply to computer-generated art, and the likely decline in photography.
I've just added a commentary on my website with a link to the video. It's an interesting watch, especially considering correlations to our own photography artform.
I'd love to open this up for discussion - what do you feel about the authenticity of AI-generated art, and where this might lead in future. Following is a link to my blog entry if interested.
