The artist argued that AI generators rely on unauthorized training data scraped from thousands of painters, devaluing professional artistic labor. Furthermore, the critique claims that algorithmic images lack emotional depth and produce repetitive, sterile visual patterns across platforms. In response to the technology, creators are urging galleries and public spaces to support traditional mediums and maintain human-centered art curation. Creative guilds are calling for new regulatory protections to prevent technology companies from using copyrighted artworks without consent.
