Abstract:
This paper examines the classification of digital images created by generative AI systems and their emergence as art. The term ‘art’ defies precise definition, but there is a growing tendency to label AI-generated images as such. The current discourse on AI-generated imagery as art lacks the nuanced understanding of traditional artistic media. To address this, we introduce some philosophical considerations. By applying existing frameworks and theories of language, we argue that certain AI-generated images possess visual properties aligned with ‘readymades,’ qualifying them for consideration as art.
