On Thursday, Sotheby's in New York auctioned the first artwork created by artificial intelligence algorithms. Ai-Da, a humanoid robot, painted a portrait of English mathematician Alan Turing, known as A.I. God. Collectors have expressed a strong interest in this remarkable work of art, and the auction fetched a much higher price than expected. This indicates that there is a large market potential for AI-generated art among art enthusiasts. This could be the beginning of something great.
A.I."art" is a contradiction in terms. An oxymoron. Humans create art with creativity and intent. Not algorithms. The recent sale of an artwork created by a humanoid robot using AI algorithms is a disgrace. AI-generated "art" not only negatively impacts professional artists, but also discourages those aspiring to pursue careers in the art field. What's the point of having a soulless robot create artwork?
There is a 7% chance Tesla will be able to mass-produce humanoid robots by the end of 2027, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
