A cartoonist named Matthew Inman has created a comic reviewing AI-generated art, highlighting the complex debate about creativity and the role of human intention in art.

Why it matters: The discussion challenges how we define creativity and the value of human choice versus automated generation in art.

The big picture: AI art can produce creative works quickly, but critics argue it lacks the "why" behind human artistic decisions.

The other side: Some AI-generated projects are undeniably creative and impossible to produce quickly without generative AI tools.

Commenters say: Many appreciate Inman's perspective but feel the criticism of AI art as "soulless" overlooks the nuanced creative possibilities AI enables.
