AI has had a significant impact on the creation of art, both in terms of accelerating the creative process and changing traditional notions of authorship and authenticity in art.
Acceleration of the creative process
One of the biggest advantages of AI in creating art is the acceleration of the creative process.
AI tools and techniques allow artists to create work in a fraction of the time it would take using traditional techniques.
For example, GANs can generate realistic images in a matter of seconds, whereas manually creating a similar image could take hours or even days.
Using image classification systems can allow artists to create a large number of images in a short time, which can be particularly useful for projects that require diverse options and proposals for clients.
This acceleration of the creative process can allow artists to create more and experiment with more ideas, opening up new possibilities for their artistic expression.
Change in notions of authorship and authenticity
AI is also changing traditional notions of authorship and authenticity in art.
Because AI-generated artworks are created based on algorithms and training models, many people question whether these works can truly be considered artist "creations."
Furthermore, AI tools allow people to create accurate copies of existing works of art, raising questions about the authenticity of these copies and their artistic value.
These debates are particularly relevant in the context of the art market, where the value of a work often depends on its authenticity and the artist's signature.
Increasing diversity in art creation
Another impact of AI on art creation is the increase in diversity in the production of works.
AI can help overcome linguistic, cultural and geographic barriers that often prevent artists from accessing the resources and means to create their art.
Additionally, AI tools can enable artists with physical disabilities or technical limitations to create works with greater ease and accessibility.
This diversity in the production of artwork leads to greater representation and inclusion in the artistic community, allowing a wider range of voices and perspectives to be heard.
A good example of how AI can facilitate the creation of works of art is Runway, a tool that helps you create images and videos with the collaboration of artificial intelligence. Runway even promoted the first festival of films created in collaboration with AI.
