It’s interesting. The whole, “what is art? “ debate has been around for a long time, but I think, with the boom in AI images and filters, to preserve ’art’, particularly for the art community’s sake, some sort of definition will have to be finally generally agreed upon (‘ar’t vs. images). It hasn’t really been necessary before because, as competitive as the art world is, no one was debating the artistry it took to draw/paint, hyper realism, surrealism, etc..and nobody wanted the validity of their own art being undermined like it was during classical art periods. Digital art was an issue for a while, but even that get some slack because you had have some skill with the Photoshop software. If the art community doesn’t finally fight for a distinction then it will fade away as mostly a relevant now that it’s so easy for anybody to create high quality, conceptual images in any style that pleases them.
