Abstract Intelligence

As AI expert Mo Gawdat said, ‘When machines are specifically built to discriminate, rank and categorise, how do we expect to teach them to value equality?’. This is as much an issue in art and culture as it is within technology, and these ethical boundaries that help to celebrate and protect authentic human creativity have arguably already been crossed. With a growing selection of offerings able to generate near-instant on demand imagery, in the style of your favourite artist with just a simple prompt, how do we ensure that the value of human craft prevails?

  3. The future and ethics

Just as Covid spread panic and fear across the planet, artificial intelligence is doing its best to reinvigorate our inner anxieties. It’s not all bad news, the optimists out there are excited about the new, endless possibilities literally at our fingertips – I mean, when you can see gollum eating a watermelon within 60 seconds, what’s not to love…right? AI seems to have the potential to turn everyone into a Renaissance painter overnight, the question is whether or not we want an army of artistic keyboard warriors, and what it means for traditional craft and creativity.

Midjourney, DALL-E, Firefly, Stable Diffusion — the list goes on and on. We live in a world where machines are creating art, and they actually do it pretty well. The line between human creativity and artificial intelligence is blurrier than ever. And it’s sparking a fiery debate in the digital space: What makes art, art?

Obviously, algorithms aren’t as good as Van Gogh, Monet, Kahlo — but anyone could be fooled to believe that an AI artwork is made by them. It’s an interesting but unsettling thought, especially with deepfakes making waves in the news lately. So, the real challenge is identifying whether an image came from a human or a machine.

How do we do that exactly?

From subtle nuances to distinct styles, I’ll go over some tips I’ve figured out after working with these tools for months. Some are obvious telltale signs of AI while others are a bit harder to figure out.

What’s The Difference?

There are some exceptions but, for the most part, you can’t tell whether or not an artwork is AI with just a single glance. Take these three images for example. One of these is from Van Gogh himself while the other two are from Midjourney. Can you tell which is which?

If you answered the last one, pat yourself in the back. But how can you tell?

There are lots of specific ways to tell if a piece of art came from a person or a machine. We’ll discuss them in detail shortly but, in general, here’s how you spot AI art:

  • Overuse of patterns. Machines don’t do well with entropy or random data, making AI generators more likely to repeat certain patterns that are prominent in other images.
  • Complexity. AI struggles to replicate the unique or unusual elements that human artists are more likely to experiment with.
  • Lack of emotion. While they could sometimes be visually better, AI art lacks the emotional and conceptual depth of human art.
