Presenting my portrait of His Majesty King Charles III is not just a creative act, it's a statement about the evolving role of AI in our society, and to reflect on how artificial intelligence is shaping the cultural landscape.
The explosion of AI-generated art has been fueled by platforms like DALL·E, MidJourney, and ChatGPT, yet users unknowingly contribute personal data, especially facial recognition.
"When we look at the output of AI, we see alternately yassified and mutilated glimpses of ourselves and our communal structures. AI images are funhouse reflections of a sociopolitical reality receding in the rearview mirror."
Witnessing big brands embracing AI tools reinforces the notion that quick-fix AI content is favored over authentic human creativity, raising concerns on artistic integrity.
