“A grotesque mockery of what it is to be human” is how famed musician Nick Cave described an AI attempt to create lyrics “in the style of a Nick Cave song.” Animator Hayao Miyazaki called AI art “an insult to life itself.” When one artist won a competition with an AI-generated piece, it caused an outcry, but the winning artist defended the AI’s work. “Art is dead, dude. It’s over. A.I. won. Humans lost.”
