In the article from the Harvard Gazette, various artists and professionals share their views on the role of AI in art, each with unique insights and concerns. Daphne Kalotay and Moshe Safdie highlight AI's limitations in capturing the genuine vision and emotional depth inherent in human creativity, suggesting AI's potential is more mechanical than visionary. Conversely, Matt Saunders and Ruth Stella Lingford acknowledge AI as a potential collaborator in the creative process, offering new avenues for artistic exploration but also posing threats to traditional artistic roles. Overall, while recognizing AI's growing influence in the art world, these experts agree that it lacks the personal touch and spontaneity that define true human artistry.
