Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a significant influence in the art world, prompting reflection and introspection. This phenomenon raises the question: how could this have happened? This article explores the interrelation between AI-generated art and the concept of artwork’s aura, particularly in how art profoundly engages with otherness. The inquiry into whether AI relates to otherness is central to this discussion. The research methodology employed in this study combines scholarly research and literature review with the author’s personal experiences in painting, artistic observation, and experimentation with various art techniques. The methods used include descriptive analysis, classification, observation, and interpretive analysis of examples of AI-generated images. The conclusion drawn from this investigation is that AI-assisted works cannot be considered art as long as AI simulates the language of other artistic media.
