I used to think AI art was cheating, then I saw a gallery show in Austin last month
A local artist there used AI to generate 40 backgrounds from her old sketchbook scans, then painted over every single one by hand. The crowd spent 20 minutes arguing about whether it counted as her work, and honestly I walked out still not sure. Has anyone else seen a show like this where the line got blurry?
Wait, 40 backgrounds? That's insane, I can't even get through one painting without wanting to quit. And she scanned her own old sketchbooks to feed the AI, so the raw material was still hers from the start. That alone makes it her work in my book, the arguing part is people just freaked out by anything new.
