Who Made AI Art
When AI makes a picture, it is not exactly the AI's art — and not exactly yours either. The question of who made AI art is a real puzzle.
Some artists are upset because AI was trained on their work without permission. Some are excited because AI lets more people make art.
Three things to think about
- AI art used real artists' work to learn
- Saying 'I made this' isn't quite true if AI did most of the drawing
- Some places now require you to say 'I used AI'
Key terms in this lesson
The big idea: AI art is a team effort — between you, the AI, and the artists whose work taught the AI.
