Abstract
This chapter delves into the evolving relationship between artists and AI, centering on the redefinition of creativity in the context of technological advancements. It explores the limits of creativity, examining the interplay between facts, abstract truths, and AI, and how computational creativity is reshaping traditional notions of artistic expression. The chapter also delves into the exploration of aesthetics in AI art, analyzing existing theories and provoking new thoughts on the intersection of aesthetics and AI-generated content. Additionally, it delves into the ethical considerations surrounding AI art, particularly in terms of authorship and ownership, addressing the complex issues of copyright and the social implications of AI-generated art. The chapter concludes by contemplating future considerations in the realm of AI art, envisioning potential shifts in the understanding of authorship and the ongoing ethical debates surrounding the role of AI in the creative process. Through a comprehensive analysis of these topics, it offers insights into the transformative effects of AI on artistic practices and encourages critical reflection on the ethical and conceptual implications of this evolving relationship.
