Today, the creation of pictures thanks to AI is beginning to gain popularity at breakneck speed, every day going to tiktok, Twitter or Instagram, we encounter the art of AI, whether it is a mask from an announcer or a post by some blogger, and where did it even come from and how does it work?
If you think that AI just takes key images at your request and mixes them then you are mistaken. AI interprets your request and creates a completely new picture (you can try to do this several times, and each picture will be different, regardless of whether you change the description or not).
The bottom line is that programmers have trained AI with millions of different photos, based on which, trying to build a kind of pattern, we get a picture.
AI is slowly beginning to seep into contemporary art galleries, as in mid-2018, journalists received a mysterious press release “creativity is not for man.” Its creator was the French art group Obvious, engaged in the synthesis of art and programming. Their own neural network created a series of paintings, and one of them they even sold at Chrisie’s auction for $ 432500.
Naturally, most of all with artificial intelligence work the largest corporations – Google, Amazon, NVidia, Apple and others. In fact, none of them positions their research to create a neural network that would be able to fully engage in art. Rather, these are scientific fundamental works that allow you to expand the boundaries of ai capabilities. Despite this, Google has the Google Deep Dream project, in which engineers are working to create artificial intelligence with intuition for creativity. He works according to the GUN training system, when one artificial intelligence analyzes a huge number of artistic images and creates others based on them, and the second artificial intelligence learns from them. This system works on the principle of the human brain, since a person analyzes, as a rule, not so much real objects of art as his own interpretations or even someone else’s opinion.
As a result, the second artificial intelligence, after analyzing the paintings created by the first, begins to draw – in completely strange genres, unlike anything that a person created.
“This isn’t going to stop,” Mr. Allen said. “Art is dead, dude. It’s over. A.I. won. Humans lost.”

For me, a very important part of interacting with art is trying to figure out and interpret what the author had on his or her mind. Though I must say that images created by AI are very thought-provoking (not only because they were created by computers), I still can not agree with the quote at the end of Your article. I think it is safe to say that art is an emotional, intimate and profound conversation between the author and his audience. Images and sounds created by this brilliant computer code can indeed generate a lot of feelings but they do not bring any message alongside. In my opinion, as long as AI remains unaware of its existence, Its art will always lack the main ingredients that make the creations of human beings so special and unique.
