Art is such a creative process. I have enjoyed art since I was little, first starting out with drawing and moving up to painting. Artists such as Leonardo da Vincci and Pablo Picasso painted beautiful works of art that still resonate with society to this day. After playing around with various LLM and AI features of various social media platforms that offer AI chatbots, these chatbots can create art, or auto-generated images of whatever the user wants.
When I asked Meta AI to generate “authentic works of art,” the chatbot gave me images of abstract art
What worries me about the advancements of AI in regard to art is that there are thousands of artists that work for hours creating paintings and works of art, only for an LLM to be able to recreate and produce “authentic” works of art in seconds. Not only do these LLMs recreate and create this art, but the art that they are spitting out of a compilation of millions of artworks all over the internet. The addition of a signature as seen on the bottom right of the “authentic artwork” on the left is proof that this artwork that AI produces is in fact not authentic, but stolen pieces from thousands of artists.
What does this mean for the Art Industry? What does this mean for aspiring artists who have to compete with not only thousands of other artists, but with Artificial Intelligence?
Although the coders behind artificial intelligence have continued to make AI smarter, there needs to be limitations as to what artificial intelligence can do in regard to potential plagiarism.
