AI Art Auction Sparks Controversy: Is AI a Replacement or an Assistant to Human Creativity?

Recently, Christie’s, a globally renowned auction house, held a dedicated auction for art generated by AI. Themed around “Augmented Intelligence,” it not only captured the attention of the global art community but also ignited debates regarding the legitimacy, originality, and future trajectory of AI art. Some believe that this auction signifies the official entry of AI-generated art into the mainstream art market and has fueled the “battle” between human artists and AI art.
