🌎 Is AI Art "Art"?

🧠 Top of Mind

Top of Mind brings you my more informal thoughts, questions, research, and INI-specific tools, as I'm living with them.

Also, hi! The info below is usually intended only for INI members, and we’re technically still on break, but this is something I’m thinking a lot about and wanted to share.

Also — there are just three days left to get the first year of an INI Membership for 50% off. Members get posts like this 1-2x a week.

When does AI art qualify as “art”? What are the qualifiers, and who gets to decide them?

These are among the questions of our time — mostly underpinned by questions of expression and, of course, money.

And not only does the legendary typeface designer and typographer Jonathan Hoefler pose 26 more provocative questions in this thread, but he also engages in valuable (and civil!) discussion in the many replies that follow. I highly recommend checking it out.

I made this post available to everyone because I’d love to read your comments after you read his thread. Have at it!
