If AI paints a masterpiece, is it still art?

While some see AI as a powerful tool for artistic expression, others argue it lacks originality and emotional depth.

Art is an important form of human expression. For centuries, it has evoked emotions and helped us understand the human psyche in a way no other form of expression has done. In my many conversations with artists, I understand less about their art and more about their minds and the high tide of passion surging in their hearts. If art is so intimate and only draws from personal experiences, can we call AI art real art? Without the most essential ingredient of emotional appeal, will we ever visit an exhibit where only AI art is displayed? The debate goes on.
