Unravelling the Aesthetics and Emotion: Exploring the Artistic Value of AI-Generated Artworks

Abstract

The debut of AI art, a new cultural realm, has given rise to discussions about its artistry and aesthetic value. On the other hand, since the new path of the art-creational movement does not allow applying traditional components of creativity to evaluate the creative and aesthetic value, art coming from AI creates new difficulties concerning its evaluation. What are the pillars of the art genre – composition, technique, visual phenomena – no longer look the same? New tools are required to give a scientifically sound assessment of the esprit and visual components of AI art. How do we assess emotions driven by works from AI? They may show the extent of faithfulness to the traditional genre due to the same or diverse components from conventional art. This paper tries to compose and define the base on which an assessment of emotions driven by such works is to be done. When the artist agrees, AI uses machine learning algorithms, and the experience is always learning.
