The Spin

Narrative A

Thursday's sale marks a watershed moment in the history of modern art and demonstrates how the partnership between humans and machines opens up a whole new world of innovation and creativity. The fact that this sale transcended expectations by fetching an astounding $1M speaks for itself: AI is the future.

Narrative B

AI "art" is an oxymoron. Humans make art with creativity and intent, not algorithms. AI-generated "art" not only negatively impacts professional artists, but also discourages those aspiring to pursue careers in the art field. From movies to TV series and music to paintings, it seems that no area of the creative community is safe.
