How will AI affect art over the next 20 years?

"We're all scrambling for new rules, boundaries, and regulations with AI. In academia, art, music, etc. For something that was supposed to positively impact society, it seems like it has the potential to undermine it all. Alarmingly."

• "Art is constantly being evolved, and I don't think that stops at just human art. Art is art, no matter who or what makes it."

"I don't believe I know what WILL happen, but what I HOPE happens is that people realize that we don't need AI to produce art. We need AI to take over the repetitive, menial tasks in life that prevent humans from making art. Art is self-expression. Humans need to express themselves. Computers do not."

• "I think AI-generated art will soon have to conclude that either the court of law humanizes AI as an artist or denies AI any form of artistic leverage and privilege over and within the same playing field as human artists."

"I believe as AI art and human art become less and less distinguishable, humans will revert to older physical mediums like canvas, and leave the realm of digital art to AI.”

• “This is tough because while AI could be amazing technology it should never take the place of a human’s creative abilities. So that being said, if an artist embraces it to enhance their work it could be a great thing.”

“AI is already massively impacting art. I've seen friends accused of using AI for their art on pieces that I've seen them working on, there are a lot of artists that AI has been trampling. However, we can use AI art to our advantage if we learn to find ways to separate it from artists' work.”

• “I think AI art will just be what it is, it's its own art. Each individual human can decide what looks good or not. Even though it could contend with humans, I don't think human art will ever go away since people will like their unique art styles.”
