Artificial intelligence can now generate artwork in seconds, sparking debates about its impact on traditional art and artists.
Some Cleveland creators argue that AI-made pieces lack the human soul, lived experience, and community connection that define public art.
Others, like Jordan Wong, believe AI can be a useful tool as long as it supports rather than replaces the artist鈥檚 creative process.
Local painter Chi Wong worries that widespread replacement of artists with AI would erase the personal touch that makes art meaningful.
Organizations like LAND Studio say AI can have a place in public projects.
Many Cleveland artists hope the city continues to prioritize human creativity and the cultural value it brings.
