2+ day, 22+ hour ago (304+ words) Discussions around AI art have been dominated by negativity. But at least we are having them. In November 2025, Kingston upon Thames, southwest London, became the latest victim of anti-AI public backlash. A festive mural depicting Pilgrims gathering to celebrate the birth of Jesus was revealed to be AI-generated. From afar, the mural looked passable. It was not until up close that onlookers noticed the elementary proof. Many of the Pilgrims" faces were warped and deformed, while the animals appeared to blend into one another. If this were a marketing campaign for a new, Christmas adaptation of Alex Garland"s Annihilation, it would be a stroke of genius. But it was not. " Yet this time the media narrative felt, dare I say, prompted. We"ve heard this story countless times before, in the film industry, in the publishing industry, and now…...

5+ day, 21+ hour ago (648+ words) But not all disciplines face this shift equally, and the transformation reveals stark differences in how AI impacts various forms of creative work. Yet beneath these practical considerations lies a deeper question about the nature of creative value itself, one that leads directly into the legal and ethical complexities surrounding AI-generated content. Yet beneath law and ownership lies a deeper question: what does it mean for art to feel authentic when machines can replicate not just technique, but increasingly sophisticated approximations of human expression? The authenticity question becomes even more complex when considering how AI enables entirely new forms of creative expression that have no historical precedent, including the ability to collaborate with the dead. Perhaps nowhere is AI's transformative impact more profound than in its ability to extend creative careers beyond death. The technology that enabled The Beatles to…...

1+ week, 1+ day ago (637+ words) Here's how my wife, an amateur painter, uses AI to address a common artistic challenge without ceding creative control. I'm the Executive Editor, Features & Special Projects at PCMag.com. I oversee both traditional features and the wide variety of editorial packages we run, including the Readers' Choice/Business Choice awards and holiday gift guides. As someone who writes a column on practical AI, I'm often asked about'or challenged on'the subject of AI-generated art. Some people ask logistical questions, like "How do I get started?" or "Can I use AI to do this?" But just as often, I hear from the skeptics. They tell me AI art is theft, that it's soulless. Often, they use other words that I'd prefer not to mention. I understand the sentiment. However, a recent small project in my own home reminded me that AI doesn't…...

1+ week, 6+ day ago (345+ words) TL;DR: AI gave me the ability to build a complete multimedia production pipeline alone'writing, designing, animating, and producing everything myself without a team, budget, or technical background. Before AI, every idea required outside help: editors, illustrators, designers, animators, videographers. If I didn't have the connections or resources, the idea stayed trapped in my head. AI broke that barrier. Instead of waiting for people, funding, or approval, I became the entire creative pipeline. I didn't come into AI with coding knowledge or a traditional tech background. What I did have was obsessive creativity, strong visual instincts, story experience, and the ability to learn fast. AI didn't simplify the creative process. It unlocked it. My AI workflow looks like this: Concept " Imagery I map out the emotion, tone, and aesthetic. AI tools generate visual foundations. Imagery " Animation Micro-scenes come to life…...

2+ week, 3+ hour ago (357+ words) The availability of artificially generated "art" continues to grow. The tech industry insists that AI is here to stay. Should creators and audiences of art now surrender to the existence of the "AI artist"?" Here, the AI is using the reality of another artist rather than creating art based on its own, a blatant act of plagiarism Most importantly, the success of generative AI relies on its ability to plagiarise. Earlier this year, a viral A.I trend enraptured TikTok. Users asked generative AI models to produce images in the style of "Studio Ghibli", the popular Japanese animation studio. Here, the AI is using the reality of another artist rather than creating art based on its own, a blatant act of plagiarism. In response to the trend, comments made in 2016 by Hayao Miyazaki " one of Studio Ghibli"s founders " resurfaced online....

These titles included ImagineFX, 3D World and video game titles Play and Official PlayStation Magazine. Ian launched Xbox magazine X360 and edited PlayStation World. For Creative Bloq, Ian combines his experiences to bring the latest news on digital art, VFX and video games and tech, and in his spare time he doodles in Procreate, ArtRage, and Rebelle while finding time to play Xbox and PS5. There's a special kind of silence that fills a room when enthusiasm meets reality. I felt it at an AI prompt battle last week during the largely enjoyable Upscale Conference. The competitive event rounded out a day of talks on how AI can be harnessed for creativity, where hopefuls typed words into text boxes while a crowd watched. What should have…...

The inability of AI to produce art by A. Peter Dore Art comes from and contains the human struggle of the artist, which is what makes it art, but AI in completely lacking such struggle, can only make what seems to be art and not the real thing Yet, until very recent times, technology has been used, as in Aristotle's quip, to take over manual work. Now, though, it appears that it can replace almost anyone, wherever they happen to be in the workforce. The other day, I came across the claim that by 2030, AI could have put 99% of workers out of a job. This absolutely stunned me. If this is true, a…...

2+ week, 3+ day ago (349+ words) Staff at a U.K. museum recently got a shock when they noticed a work they'd never seen before displayed on a wall there. A conceptual artist, it turns out, had stealthily hung the mysterious AI-generated print in a gallery at the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff, where it remained on view for hours until employees removed it. The artist, who goes by the name Elias Marrow, said he wanted to challenge the idea that public institutions get to define what's worth showing, and to see what happens when something outside that system enters it. The digital print, which Marrow hung in the contemporary section of the U.K. museum on October 29, is titled "Empty Plate." Encased in a custom-made frame, it shows a seated young boy in a school uniform looking straight ahead with forlorn eyes as he balances an empty plate…...

2+ week, 4+ day ago (381+ words) It was a perfect AI-mitation. Just in case artificial intelligence wasn't encroaching upon enough human spaces of late. An art world troll sneakily displayed a piece of AI-generated art at a museum in the UK last month before bemused visitors alerted employees to the artificially intelligent design. The digital print had been surreptitiously showcased at the National Museum Cardiff in Wales by secretive artist Elias Marrow, who said the work was viewed by a "few hundred people" before its removal, the BBC reported. Rendered in the style of a historical oil painting, the machine-generated masterpiece depicted a young boy in a school uniform who was sitting down with a book under his arm and an empty plate on his lap. Marrow had reportedly sketched out the image before rendering it with AI and making prints. To complete the effect, Marrow…...
