Mass production vs artisanship

Here are the questions running through my head in the recent days.

Can AI mass-produce unique art? A friend or a foe for artists and artisans? (Should this even be a question?)

What makes art unique? Where is the line of uniqueness drawn between two different pieces of art?

Are we in the dawn of a new art-consumer reality – can art be tailored for the taste of the consumer?

Can there be a base piece of art, which then can be then tailored via AI to satisfy the consumer’s taste?

  • start with a random choice
  • start with a pre-defined choice

Brainstorm of areas, where AI algorithm can challenge the artisan status-quo:

→ embroidery patterns

→ pottery

→ calligraphy

→ beer production

Foreseeing the future, I am questioning:

Can AI teach art?

Can AI predict the future of art?

How does art look like after the AI?
