Hi Everyone, Hoping you’re well. Before we begin, two quick notes: I’m sending this a week later than usual—apologies—as I have been focused on launching the paperback of A Year in the Art World in the U.S. Again, I hope you will check it out if you have not yet.
You lost me on embracing it as an artist. The moment it came out these AI programs were trained on the backs of artists without payment, licensing or credit I was done fiddling with it. Now people want to be able to pass Ai generated images off as art without talking about where they made them. Been in heated debates on Instagram with people who refuse to understand how artists label their artwork. I would guess they don’t want to say it’s an Ai generated image because then they’d have to think about the artists who really created the work.
A topic close to my heart. Thank you for covering it.
