Algorithms have put the AI in painting, but is it art?

"In recent years, the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized various industries, including the world of art. With AI-powered algorithms and machine learning, artists are now exploring new frontiers in the realm of visual art." That was how ChatGPT, an AI chatbot, suggested we start this story. We asked it for an introduction to an article in which four artists and professors of the practice at SMFA at Tufts sat down to weigh the pros and cons of AI art generators. Contrary to ChatGPT's rosy view, they say it's early to call AI art a revolution, and they question just how meaningful those "new frontiers" will be.
