Why We Should Protect Human Made Art
(The art in the cover image is from the AI Assistant. Haha!)
Preview
1. Art gives impulses to see the world in a new way, or it enriches us emotionally.
2. In order for art to touch us, it is best that there is an emotional kinship between the artist and the consumer of the art.
3. A software program can only replicate existing shapes and structures.
4. It has no knowledge about the connections in this world and the emotional inner life of people.
5. So, the software lacks context.
6. A deeper meaning or statement is the essence of art.
7. Software artworks can be aesthetically pleasing, just as shapes in nature can be beautiful.
8. It could also be argued that software is made by people, and that's how deep meanings can find their way into the final product.
In this case, however, such meanings seem to be significantly watered down.
9. Strictly speaking, art generated by software is not art, but something that looks like art on the outside.
10. It will not be able to fulfill the role of real art because it lacks its essence.
11. Do we need to protect human made art?
I don't think so, because AI Art isn't really a competitor to real art. It lacks, so to speak, nutrients for the soul and impulses for the mind.
