“She likens AI’s use in art to the act of painting or drawing—simply another medium that can unlock creative potential and an artistic vision that may have never been realized without it. Using generative AI models like Stable Diffusion, 3.5, Midjourney, Adobe, Firefly, and Nova, Dreszer trained an AI image generator on her style for over a year, instructing it to produce artwork with her sensibilities, with one piece in her current exhibition produced entirely by AI.”
"I’d love to have a conversation to understand how that opinion was formed. I’d encourage them to see it as a collaboration. Many people don’t understand the process and the time it takes.
I would invite critics to dive deeper, and think about it not just as: “I put in a prompt, it makes art, then I’m done.” It’s a long process.But this relationship between technology and the arts is not new. We’ve had disruptions in art through technology before. This is just more aggressive, intrusive, and rapid in its speed and pace of innovation. "
agreed! things like this are here whether we like it or not - I see this as something that people should AT LEAST be open-minded about, and not something that should immediately be disregarded just because it’s AI
really interesting read. Dahlia’s approach captures the strange tension in AI art right now—it’s personal and expressive, yet created through a machine trained on billions of other people’s work. there’s something powerful about using a tool you didn’t build, trained on data you didn’t choose, to still end up telling your own story. it raises valid questions, though: where do authorship and originality begin and end in that process?
i think her transparency about the use of AI matters. as long as creators are upfront about how the art is made, there’s space for AI-generated work to be appreciated for what it is—part reflection, part remix, part reinvention. it doesn’t have to replace traditional methods to be meaningful.
curious how others feel about emotional expression in AI art—can it be authentic if the tool itself doesn’t feel?
