Although the humans involved in the creation of Edmond de Belamy were essentially cut out of the art’s creation narrative, the AI itself was often spoken about as having human-like characteristics.

As more artists gain access to AI and take up the tools, artists will have a whole new look — both how they look making art and how their art develops.

“Our business has never been about the ease of creating imagery or the resulting volume. It is about connecting and cutting through.”
