AI cannot make Art.
Art is an artifact or performance that is made, with intent, for its own sake, directly by the Artist(s) through a medium or combination of mediums that transcends its media in a way unique to itself. Art MUST be made by an Artist(s).View quoted post on X
(an Artist is a person that is knowingly creating Art; a person can be an Artist once and then never create Art again, it is not a matter of prestige or profession.)
the tools and methods to create Art are defined by the medium(s) they are creating within, and are unique
to the medium(s.) varying or new methods/tools/mediums do not create new categories of Art, but become enveloped within the primary Artform that is created unless these new methods/tools/mediums create something that is genuinely new and unique unto itself. (ex: you can't make a photograph with a pencil. photography requires a camera. but you can draw with a pencil and with a stylus on tablet, a with a stick. in all three of these mediums you exhibit roughly the same level of skill, techniques, and intent. ergo all three fall under the Artistic endeavor of drawings/illustration/sketching/drafting/etc.)
for something to truly be Art, function must follow form. Art requires a conscious desire to communicate an inner emotional state or idea, symbolic thought, cultural concept, metaphor, abstraction of an observation etc as the primary purpose.
Art can only be "outsourced" so many times before it is either no longer Art, the Art becomes a collaborative
endeavor, someone else is actually the Artist and the originator of the idea is now a customer, or the act
of outsourcing IS the Art, ala performance (that may or may not culminate with an artifact.)
(the amount of "outsourcing" permitted can be nebulous, but it is largely determined by the Artform being pursued and the media chosen.)
