AI-Generated Art Piece

An AI-Generated Art Piece is an art piece whose creator is an AI art generator.

• Context:
  • It can range from being a Fully-Autonomous AI-Generated Art Piece to being a Collaborative AI-Generated Art Piece, where humans and AI work together to produce the final work.
  • It can range from being a Visual AI-Generated Art Piece to being an Auditory AI-Generated Art Piece to being a Literary AI-Generated Art Piece or even an AI-Generated Multisensory Art Piece.
  • It can range from being a Static AI-Generated Art Piece, such as digital paintings or sculptures, to being a Dynamic AI-Generated Art Piece, like interactive or continuously evolving digital art.
  • It can range from being a Fine AI-Generated Art Piece, valued for its purely aesthetic properties, to being a Functional AI-Generated Art Piece, where aesthetics and practical function blend.
  • It can range from being a Digital AI-Generated Art Piece, exhibited on digital platforms, to being a Physical AI-Generated Art Piece, created with 3D printing or robotics and displayed physically.
  • It can range from being a Permanent AI-Generated Art Piece, intended for long-term exhibition, to being an Ephemeral AI-Generated Art Piece, designed to exist temporarily, such as AI-generated projection art or virtual environments.
  • It can range from being a Personalized AI-Generated Art Piece, tailored to the preferences of a specific individual, to being a Non-Personalized AI-Generated Art Piece, created without any user-specific input.
  • It can range from having a Linear Narrative AI-Generated Art Piece that tells a clear, sequential story, to having an Abstract Narrative AI-Generated Art Piece, where the meaning is open to interpretation or non-linear.
  • It can range from being a Connected AI-Generated Art Piece, where the AI-generated work is directly tied to the identity or input of the artist, to being a Disconnected AI-Generated Art Piece, where the artist's personal influence is minimal or absent, with AI operating autonomously.
  • …
  • It can be the output of a AI Art Creation Task, where AI systems create art based on input parameters and datasets.
  • It can be created by an AI Artist, an AI system designed to autonomously generate artistic works based on learned patterns.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Visual AI Art Pieces, such as:
    • An AI-Generated Image created using tools like DALL-E or Midjourney, showcasing hyper-realistic fictional images.
    • An AI-Generated Photography example mimicking traditional photography techniques without the use of a camera.
    • An AI-Generated 3D Sculpture developed through AI, brought to life via 3D printing and featuring abstract forms or realistic statues.
    • An AI-Generated Fashion Design that utilizes AI's trend analysis to produce innovative clothing and textile patterns.
    • An AI-Generated Comic Strip that generates both artwork and storylines, offering cohesive visual narratives.
    • ...
  • Literary AI Works, such as:
    • An AI-Generated Novel where AI composes the plot, characters, and dialogue, resulting in a complete literary work.
    • An AI-Generated Script for a film or TV show, including AI-created dialogues and character development.
    • ...
  • Auditory AI Creations, such as:
    • An AI-Generated Music composition made by AI tools such as OpenAI's Jukebox, including original melodies and rhythms.
    • ...
  • Multidisciplinary and Multisensory AI Arts, such as:
    • An AI-Generated Film where AI handles the creation of scripts, scene direction, and cinematography for a short or feature-length movie.
    • An AI-Generated TV Show where AI develops the plot, characters, visuals, and dialogue for a complete series.
    • An AI-Generated Cake design that showcases AI’s capability to generate innovative patterns, decorations, and unique flavor combinations.
    • ...
  • Narrative-Driven AI Art Pieces, such as:
    • An AI-Generated Storytelling Experience where AI crafts an interactive story that changes based on user input, blending plot development with real-time decision making.
    • An AI-Generated Visual Novel that integrates branching storylines and user choices, where AI drives both the narrative and the artwork.
    • A Procedural Narrative Game created by AI, dynamically generating game world elements, plot, and character arcs based on player actions.
    • An AI-Generated Interactive Theater Script where AI-driven characters adapt their roles in a live performance, adjusting dialogues and scenarios based on audience interaction.
    • ...
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Computer-Supported Art Piece, where AI tools assist in the creative process, but the primary creative direction remains human-driven.
  • Human Created Art Piece, which relies solely on human creativity and traditional techniques without any AI involvement.
  • Procedurally Generated Art, where algorithmic rules, rather than learning-based AI, generate art (e.g., fractal art, where mathematical formulas create patterns).
  • AI-Generated Music, which, while generated by AI, falls under the auditory arts and may not be considered part of visual art disciplines.
  • Algorithmic Art, where a pre-programmed set of rules generates the work without machine learning or adaptive techniques typically associated with AI.

Anna Ridler, an artist known for her work with AI, says that despite Dall-E 2 feeling “like magic” the first time you use it, so far she hasn’t felt a spark of inspiration in her experiments with the tool. She prefers working with another kind of AI called generative adversarial networks (GANs). GANs work as an exchange between two networks, one creating new imagery, and the other deciding how well the image meets a specified goal. An artistic GAN might have the goal of creating something that is as different as possible from its training data without leaving the category of what humans would consider visual art. ...
