The AI drawing tool that has previously caused a topic on the Internet「Midjourney」became the focus of the New York Times and The Times in the United States, because a man used a drawing created by “Midjourney” artificial intelligence to participate in the “Midjourney” artificial intelligence.Fine Arts Exhibition“The award for the art exhibition caused an uproar in the art circle.
Yes, artificial intelligence drawing works beat human drawing works, this is the first message in the eyes of other people, and the dialogue message of the winner Jason Allen is also spread through twitter, sparking a lot of art Dissatisfaction of people in the circle of work.
Jason Allen proudly posted on the Discord group that he won an art exhibition award for his AI project generated by Midjourney, and also emphasized that he did spend a lot of time entering information to adjust the drawing – because Midjourney will judge the information you enter to generate the pattern.
TL;DR — Someone entered an art competition with an AI-generated piece and won the first prize.

In the eyes of the uninitiated, Allen’s submitted work is really beautiful, but also deceived the eyes of the official judges. This work “Space Opera” won the award in the digital art category. The work was printed on canvas. This is a picture In the dark interior, people stared at a circular and luminous space door, which looked like the sunlight of a huge sun from a distance.
“I’m not going to apologize for that,” Allen said in an interview with The New York Times. “I won, and I didn’t break any rules.”
According to the report, the spokesperson of the museum said that Allen had clearly stated that his work was using Midjourney, but the two judges did not know what Midjourney was at the time, and obviously they would not know that the current AI technology has advanced to more than just Midjourney. Can do this kind of thing.
Although Allen’s work has caused controversy, he suggested that an additional “artificial intelligence” category should be established for such art competitions in the future. Ethics, only humans have. It can’t be stopped. Art is dead, friend, it’s over. AI wins, humans lose.”
While Allen’s statement was an obvious provocation, it also raised another question: What exactly is art? In recent years, artificial intelligence research has developed into drawing learning. AI has challenged and surpassed the limits of human beings in chessboard or various competitions. Anyone can imagine that AI may develop into more creative fields.
Of course, art is very abstract and subjective. If one day AI creates a novel, a movie, or even a video game for human beings, it is also questionable whether human artistic values can judge the value of these works. . Maybe no one really knows what art is.
