AI vs. Artists: Can Technology Truly Capture the Soul of Art?

Exploring the intersection of creativity and code, and debating whether AI-generated art is the future or if it’s missing the human touch that makes art truly meaningful...
Can machines ever replace the artist’s intuition, emotion, and unique vision?
My opinion: AI can create art, but it can't truly replace artists. While AI can generate impressive and even beautiful works, it lacks the emotional depth, intuition, and personal experience that human artists bring to their creations. Artists infuse their work with unique perspectives, cultural context, and a sense of purpose that goes beyond mere patterns and algorithms.
AI can be a powerful tool for artists, offering new ways to explore creativity and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. However, it’s the human touch—empathy, imagination, and storytelling—that gives art its soul. So, while AI might complement or even challenge artists, it’s unlikely to fully replace the uniquely human aspects of art-making.

It is an interesting question, and I think opinions defer on this question, as it is quite philosophical. My personal oppinion is the following: I Would say that AI in some way has a mastery in mimicking. It would be way better then most people in mimicking the art of Rembrandt for example. Art in general is valued not perse of how ecstatically pleasing it is, but its story how it came to be. A copy is way less valuable then the original. That is why most artist sell to people they know, and they have to have a good network of people they stay friends with.
Would be interesting to see art possibly getting more physical forms, as it ensures authenticity. If you are interested if objects have souls, maybe it is interesting to research Japanese esthetics.
