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 an AI piece makes you feel something, it's art. People said the same stuff about photography back then, but it's all about the emotional impact anyway.
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.
If it makes you feel something, it's art. People said the exact same things about photography back in the day. It’s just a new tool we are using.
只要能让人产生共鸣就是艺术。我之前在网上看了一张AI画的图,真的有被治愈到。艺术看的是作品本身给人的感受,创作者是人还是AI真没那么重要。
我觉得只要能让人产生共鸣就是艺术。就像当年相机刚出现也被排斥一样,AI也只是种新工具。只要作品好看、能引发思考,创作者是机器还是人真的没那么重要。

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.
Honestly, if there’s no human emotion or struggle behind a piece, it’s just a fancy math calculation. It completely lacks any real soul.
