Generative AI vs. Artist: who wins?
Is AI replacing artists? Is this the future of art or the end of creativity? These questions are now the subject of lively debate🔥 Ask AI to paint like a master, and it will generate plenty of images in seconds! But are they worthy of an exhibition in a gallery? Here’s the key question: is generating the same as creating? Some argue that AI’s creations lack intent, the emotional drive behind human art —we certainly agree. But what if AI-generated art has the same impact photography had in the 19th century, driving artists to seek something other than classic representation —leading to entirely new styles and movements? Could AI similarly inspire artists to explore uncharted territories? 🔎 What about human-AI collaboration? Imagine a future where people and machines would team up, drawing creative boundaries together, and creating something neither could achieve alone… What if the prolific nature of AI encourages artists to focus more on the central question of intention: why create? 💭 Let's dive into these fascinating and pressing issues in this new playlist!

Hands drawn by robots … often just don’t look right. Why is that, and what will it take to get better? Producer Phil Edwards is exploring five different aspects of AI that help explain everything from large language models to where unusual training data comes from. In this first video, he digs into why AI art struggles with hands. The challenges range from the same ones that human artists face to those that are a unique result of how AI generative art is created. The road to improving these hands may not be as obvious as you’d think.
