Would you like your favorite piece of art less if you found out it was A.I.-generated?
The Wall Street Journal asked its readers how they felt about machine-made art. Some see it as a powerful tool aiding artists and writers in their process; others fear that it might threaten the livelihood of creative class. Many though them recognize that while the technology is getting better at blurring the line between what’s real and and fake (as long as drawing hands isn’t involved), it can’t create anything original. At best A.I. can mimic what already exists, churning out derivative pictures and stories.
For the time being, at least, creativity is still a byproduct of the human condition.
