Art is a form of expression of emotions, feelings and much more. Then next question we need to ask: can AI express or feel emotions as humans do? When an artist creates, they instill their emotions into their work, which we interpret when viewing it. When you go to a museum to see art, we try to decipher what was the artist thinking when they created it, what emotions were they going through. We cannot do the same for AI generated images simply because it's not generated by a human. For one, I wouldn't be impressed to see an AI generated art piece in a museum, I'd give it a 2 second look, and move on. That said, AI generated images are indeed impressive and have many use cases outside art field, so I'd just call them what they are - AI generated images.

I think it is art but if I think about craftmanship AI is the easier path to take as an artist. However, I think it is still not possible for me to create what I imagine in my mind with AI. It is the imagination of AI, not mine :)

Agree. I personally think they are still art. The prompts are still created by humans that produces an "image" from a thought

This has truly been a long-standing issue. I've always believed it's art, because for art, creativity has always been the most important thing, and that hasn't changed.

Agree. While AI generates the image, the process is often shaped by human input, including prompts, adjustments, and curatorial decisions. This collaboration between human creativity and AI tools can produce art, though it faces initial skepticism due to its unconventional approach.

AI-generated images are absolutely a form of art. They make creativity accessible to anyone, requiring no skills beyond the ability to express yourself. You can create something deeply personal that evokes emotion - it’s like reaching space without knowing the physics. 😄

Since I don't think all art starts at zero, I agree that AI's creation technology is also about learning and recreating other artworks.

Traditionally, art is a mixture of human emotions and skill. However, in the modern digital world, technology has taken a role. AI tools generate images based on pre-programmed algorithms, often sidelining personal emotions. However, it all depends on individual perspective—AI tools can inspire thoughts and ideas, which can then be enhanced by adding human creativity to make the results more impressive.

I believe they are art since creativity involves tools, and AI is just a new kind of brush.

I consider AI-generated images art. The creativity behind programming and pushing artistic boundaries makes them unique.

I'm unsure if AI images count as art. They look great, but they lack the emotional depth a human artist brings.

They seem to me like a modern kind of creation that combines the artist and the machine.

For me, It's still art because it reflects human intention guiding the AI process.

I disagree yet,art is a product of mood and blood pressure.An AI doesn’t have that apparently
