Murakami: AI is Not Art

Author Haruki Murakami dismisses AI’s ability to create art, defending the unique human element in novel writing.

Murakami: AI is Not Art
FO Take · Score 95

Murakami is right: AI-generated ‘art’ is pastiche, devoid of soul and authentic human experience. True creativity stems from our messy, unpredictable lives, not algorithms. We must stop dignifying AI's regurgitations with the label 'art'. Why do we pretend machines can feel, let alone create feeling?

The strongest counter

AI-assisted creation offers new artistic frontiers, democratising access and enabling innovative storytelling. Dismissing it outright is a failure of imagination.
