There is no such thing as an AI ‘artist’
AI Can't Be anThe article argues that AI-generated art, while impressive, is a pale imitation of human creativity. It highlights that AI lacks the emotional depth and intrinsic motivation that drive human artistic expression. The author contends that AI produces art through pattern recognition and prediction, not from genuine yearning or experience. The piece emphasizes that true art arises from human struggles and emotions, which AI cannot replicate. The conclusion is that AI's creations are hollow facsimiles without the soul of human art.

However impressive an AI-generated poem or image, it is only ever a pale imitation of human creativity.
Richard Dawkins has been back in the news lately, telling us that he believes AI to be conscious. In fact, every few weeks now, someone or other seems to be announcing that artificial intelligence is beginning to think, to feel, perhaps even to awaken into true consciousness (whatever that may be). The evidence usually revolves around things which Turing spoke of 80 years ago – that AI can hold a conversation, can imitate emotion, can generate art. It can even write poetry convincing enough to briefly unsettle us.
This last point niggles. AI can imitate language into certain predetermined patterns. ‘Poetry’, perhaps. But only if you want to rob it of everything that makes it worthwhile.
