Artists always react to the times in which they live. They may celebrate them or
criticize them, often trying to change them. But this is the first time in history that technology controlled by private companies
is offering to replace the work of writers, musicians, illustrators and visual artists. What impact will generative AI have
on how we create art and how we understand what art is for? How will it affect the role of the artist in the future and the
conditions under which artists will work? Jan Svenungsson tackles these questions, investigating what AI might do for art,
and what it might change, circling the core issue of what it is in human art-making that cannot be replaced.
