AI-Generated Art Is Selling For More Than You Can Imagine!
Would you buy art created by a robot? For the most part of human history, art has always been human-centric; it was created by humans to be consumed by humans.
From the earliest art known to man in the form of cave paintings to the latest art of the 21st century created in all sorts of mediums, art has been a reflection of its creators and offered insights into the minds of people. It has been a means of connecting with artists living among us and ones who have long passed away.
Paintings open a door into an artist’s inner world of imagination through the stokes of a brush.
Music allows artists to inspire emotions in their audiences with the swiftness of a few notes.
However, in recent years, a newly emerging class of artists is redefining the very concept of art and the process of creating it.
We have reached the age of Artificially Intelligent Artists.
