This is an interesting post.
I've been interested in and have posted about the generative arts for a while now, and as the curator and a judge of the contest... i'm glad i can tell (more often than not) AI art from original art most of the time. Generating art and passing it off is one thing but generating art and using it to amplify your own artistic process is a game-changer! I'm glad you mentioned this here.
Thanks for the comment @castleberry and for Including this in the competition, I was quite happy to see it. It'd be like a superpower to tell the difference between AI Art and Original Art, but that sounds really nice. Yes, My wish and belief are that we can use AI art to expand the boundaries for who can create Art of Value. I'm really looking forward to it!
