Should AI-generated artworks be considered true art?
With the rapid advancement of AI in creative fields like painting, music, and literature, AI-generated works have won awards and been sold at high prices. This sparks a deep debate about the essence of art: does art require human emotion, intention, and creativity to have a soul, or does the viewer’s experience alone define its value, regardless of the creator’s nature?

Honestly, if a piece makes you feel something or stops you in your tracks, it’s art. People said the same thing about photography back then. The tool doesn't change the impact.
Honestly, if a piece looks amazing and makes you feel something, why shouldn't it be art? Photography faced the exact same gatekeeping back in the day.

For me, art needs a human soul behind it. AI just generates stuff based on math and stolen data, there’s zero actual emotion or lived experience there.
No way. Real art is about human struggle and expressing actual feelings. AI just calculates patterns, so it has no soul or message of its own.
