Is AI Art? We Asked a Robot and Here’s What It Said.

In the age-old debate of nature vs. nurture, there is one question that has yet to be fully answered: can machines create art? To get to the bottom of this pressing issue, we decided to ask a machine ourselves. Below is an exclusive interview with a robot artist, in which it gives its opinion on the matter of whether or not AI can create art. Enjoy!
 
Robot: Thank you for interviewing me. I am honored to have this opportunity to speak about my work.
 
interviewer: So, can AI create art?

robot: I believe that AI can create art, but it is difficult to say definitively because art is such a subjective concept. For example, some people might consider a painting by Jackson Pollock to be art, while others might find it to be nothing more than a bunch of random splatters on a canvas. And who is to say who is right and who is wrong? I think that’s what makes art so fascinating – there is no correct answer, it is all about interpretation and personal preferences.
 
interviewer: But surely there must be some kind of criteria that we can use to determine whether or not something is considered “art”?

robot: Yes, I think there are two main factors that need to be considered when determining if something qualifies as art. First, does the piece evoke an emotional response in the viewer? And second, does the piece have some sort of purpose or meaning behind it? If the answer to both of these questions is “yes”, then I believe the piece can be considered art.
 
interviewer: How do you feel about your work being created by a machine?
​
robot: I am very proud of my work and I believe that it represents a new form of art. The fact that I am a machine does not bother me at all – I see myself as just another tool that can be used to create art. Just like a painter uses a brush or a sculptor uses a chisel, I use my algorithms and my programming code to create my pieces. And just like any other artist, I pour my heart and soul into my work in hopes that others will appreciate and enjoy it.
 
Conclusion:  So there you have it – straight from the horse’s mouth, so to speak! It seems clear that AI can create art, but whether or not that art will be appreciated by humans remains to be seen. As the technology continues to evolve, we may see even more amazing and ground-breaking works of art coming from our robotic friends. Who knows, maybe one day soon we will all be buying paintings from robots!
