Could the future of art lie in AI technology? – BBC News
Technology is shaking up the art world, with the rise of images being made by artificial intelligence (AI).
Computer systems are creating pieces of art from scratch with people simply needing to type in a few words.
But how exactly does the technology work?

Much of western Europe is under the most extreme red heat alerts – meaning there’s a potential risk to life.
France, Spain and Italy have been hardest hit by the heatwave so far.
But why is it so hot? What can you do to stay safe? And is El Nino to blame?
We answer some of your most asked questions about the heatwave sweeping Europe with our climate and health correspondents.
We’re also joined by our teams in Paris, Madrid and the south of France.

Tens of thousands of organisations have been caught out by a computer virus called WannaCry. The malicious software locks data away and demands a payment of up to $300 (£230) a time before it will restore scrambled files. In the UK, many hospitals fell victim and some health organisations diverted ambulances and cancelled non-essential services as they sought to contain and clean up the infection. Infections in more than 99 nations are being reported by security firms. It appears that the hardest hit are Russia and Spain.

A year ago, artificial intelligence was being sold as something close to science fiction — a technology that could transform society, cure disease, even reshape the global economy.
Today, the tone is changing. The companies leading the revolution are racing to the stock market — chasing billions in investment — while quietly confronting a much harder reality: AI is expensive, unpredictable, and far from profitable.
At the same time, some of the very people building this technology are warning we may be going too fast — even calling for a global pause.
And beyond Silicon Valley, a different story is emerging: growing public anxiety, political backlash, and the rise of what some are calling anti-AI populism.
So is AI entering its most pivotal moment yet — caught between financial pressure, technological risk, and political resistance?
AI Decoded Presenter Christian Fraser is joined by Financial Times AI Editor Madhumita Murgia, Thematic Strategist at Deutsche Bank Research Adrian Cox and Richard Coffin, Host of popular investing podcast ‘ The Plain Bagel’.

Ai is not entirely perfect, which is why you also need to learn image editing.

They haven't been created by scratch, they've been scraped and stolen from existing artists.

In response to the claim at 5:40 She's dead wrong on that. The name being used in that case, is nothing more than a tag that references learned concepts.. The AI is not taking their original works and "copying" them, it no longer has any access to them, at that stage. And that's IF it even saw them to begin with, as part of training. There's a significant possibility that the AI does NOT need to see an artist's original works, to replicate them. It merely needs to see enough consenting lookalike or copycat artists that have also created works in those styles, or reproduced their own versions of the original artist's art, in order for the AI to recreate close enough approximations that can seem nearly perfect to us. And there's TONS more lookalike art, than original art out there to train on, for it to learn by proxy.

The artists complaining are kinda making a lot of assumptions and accusations that aren't proven.. They're quick to claim it's mimicking "their" styles, but styles cannot be copyrighted, and countless other human artists draw in very similar styles to theirs.. And some of those lookalike artists WILL consent to being part of the datasets that train these AIs. Actually, that's likely how the AI can already draw certain things, like the famous "afghan girl" image. So many other artists have recreated that image, that the AI never needed to see the original in order to be capable of recreating a similar image that looks just as close to the original as any number of human recreations of it.

This is both interesting and terrifying as a creative person. I constantly have ideas for things that I want to create but don't have the skills, however I don't like the idea of losing the awe of others creativity and skill

I think Hans Christian Andersen addressed this topic already in the fairy tale, The Nightingale. An artificial, mechanical bird made to cheer up the ailing Emperor versus a live Nightingale.

Often great artists are horrible a-holes. Guess it comes with the territory – difficult mind and all that. But those a-holes have had interesting lives worth talking about, writing about, making movies about.
It takes a person to be an interesting a-hole, a computer simply cannot muster that. Imperfections are interesting.
Who is going to write biographies about AI?

It will no doubt take over the commercial art market but not the fine art market. If anything I think the value of fine art will increase next to its machine made rival.

December 27, 2023 at 9:21 am
The major problem with AI is that it will distract possible future painters to become them. And as a result, AI which will replace eventually major part of these people, will be just trained on the existing datasets , hence less diversity and no new techniques and styles of those non-born painters. Everything will stagnate and become more homogeneous
@spideyguy3454

You point out in the earlier part of the video how AI training and image generation work, and it debunks the claims by the artist interviewed that the technology copies. It doesn't copy when training, it views and learns. That is like saying that opening a website is copying, because it creates a "copy" on the user's end when they do.
