Art is a combination of idea and execution. If one of these is sufficiently brilliant, it may compensate for the other.
AI is, for the most part, a type of execution. If you find yourself enjoying a particular AI creation, it is probably because the ideas behind it are extra smart - smart enough to qualify as art.
Agreed.
Some people would dismiss Piet Mondrian, Joan Miro or Henri Matisse as fumbling finger painters with limited colours at their disposal.
And they'd be right.
But for those who can see beyond the simple and into the purpose for it being simple. There's an elegance they each capture so vividly, and uniquely, that transcends many of their works to the sublime.
Lots of AI work will be finger paintings by comparison to their human artists' efforts. But an artist who uses AI well will bring forth something which evokes something in those who perceive it, and that is a special magic which isn't always available to everyone.
Toulouse-Lautrec made his money advertising bars, but that's not the only thing people associate with his works. Perhaps some AI artists will gain fame for their use in bringing about a new medium to the schools of art ;)
