And so, suppose someone is creating a children’s book, and needs illustrations, but they don’t have the necessary skills to illustrate, and they also can’t afford to hire a professional illustrator. Well, in that case, they could use an A.I. program to do it instead. Again, I would rather they not use A.I., but I understand the situation that they’re in, and I’d rather that they fulfill their dream.

Let’s be clear about something. A.I. can make beautiful works of art. I’m not questioning that. In fact, A.I. can probably make better imagery than most humans can. If all that you cared about was making an entertaining story, or having a nice picture to look at, or if those things were what’s most important to you, then A.I. does the job, and it does it well. A.I. might be able to produce something that you need for your project that other illustrators you’ve hired can’t replicate, for example. But if you want the art to mean something, and be more than just a pretty picture or cool sounding song, it must be created by a person.

Though to be fair, there could be scenarios in which the art’s main purpose is really the only thing that’s important. For example, an illustration in a story has a different purpose than a painting that you’d see hanging in a museum. While the painting in the museum is meant to be looked at, and thus its appearance is very important, the human aspect is also very important. Admiring the art, we want to feel a connection to the artist, and experience an emotional event while appreciating what the artist was trying to express. But with an illustration in a book, the only thing that is really meant is for the reader to see what’s going on in the story. The artist isn’t trying to express anything; they’re just trying to show an aspect of the story visually. Therefore, the human aspect isn’t as important. Another example is music used in movies. The music is meant to accompany the story’s events in order to emphasize an emotional response. The music is dictated by the story, so it would seem that there’s not much room for any of the artist’s personal expression.
