Is This AI-Art?

We stand on the threshold of a new cultural revolution. Artificial intelligence has ceased to be merely a toy and has evolved into a full-fledged player in the creative arena. It composes music that makes the charts, creates images capable of fooling an expert’s eye, and writes texts that are difficult to distinguish from human-authored work. However, reactions to this breakthrough have been sharply divided. Some view AI not as a threat, but as the next stage in the evolution of the artist's toolkit; others fear that AI does not create anything new, but merely copies.
