After reading Lois Rosson’s article, I appreciated the parallel between photography and AI in art, recognizing both as expansions of visual culture rather than disruptions. At first, I was skeptical about AI in the visual arts. Because my contact with traditional art feels more real, valuing the pure process from concept to completion. However, exploring AI shifted my perspective, acknowledging its role in the evolution of social development. The convenience, efficiency, and novel capabilities of AI provide a modern toolkit for creativity, though I share the concern of many about the devaluing of originality and art. The replicability and authenticity of AI art remain a concern. For me, AI is a tool, not a substitute, and I will try to integrate AI into art in a balanced way, ensuring that it complements rather than diminishes the value of our human creativity.
From the perspective of artists and creators, I think we should use human beings to try to create new creative thinking modes to accept AI, rather than insulate it. Artists already have the ability to create traditional art, and adding one more skill will make new works of art more unique and culturally communicative, thus expanding the boundaries of artistic expression. With widespread awareness of AI’s potential ethical and originality challenges, using AI as a tool for innovation can address these concerns. This does not prevent people from accepting that the advent of AI will somehow change the true inner meaning of art. We are witnessing the development of artificial intelligence in the gradual way art is perceived and created, and this is not to compromise artists, nor is it to compromise artists’ values. But artists need to be aware of this first and have a responsibility to understand AI, to use it as a supplement rather than a substitute. Stay awake and see what AI can do on the basis of not weakening our human expression and understanding. Try AI as a new medium instead of losing sanity and relying on it completely.
