To many of us, art is obviously a kind of human expression of creativity. But in recent years, you may have read news about artificial intelligence (AI) creating its own art, such as painting or writing poems. Some people worry that AI might someday replace artists.
Many artists today are turning AI into a useful tool. Instead of replacing artists, AI is bringing artists more possibilities.
A piece of music created by AI recently attracted attention. AI was used to turn the novel virus into a piece of nearly two-hour long music based on its protein structure. The project was led by Markus Buehler, an American musician and MIT professor of engineering. He assigned (指定) a unique note to each amino acid (氨基酸) in the protein.
Listeners found the project to be "mind-blowing". "It allows me to see the virus from a new angle," said one listener.As The Verge wrote, "AI helps artists play around in unpredictable ways, creating things beyond what they have ever thought was possible before."
For example, in the comic and animation industries, there are now AI tools that can automatically (自动地) color in black-and-white line drawings. Although the results can be unpredictable and require a little cleanup, it "could give artists room to experiment, by cutting down the time it takes to color each frame (画面)", said Joao Do Lago, animator of Netflix's Castlevania.
As Peter Ward wrote for The Culture Trip, art of every kind has always been influenced by technological breakthroughs.
A. The AI then translated these notes into music.
B. AI has become an important part of our everyday life.
C. But this worry seems to be unnecessary, at least for now.
D. AI can become a useful tool to bring change to the art world.
E. Besides the music industry, AI has entered the world of poetry as well.
F. This surprising marriage between science and art could not be achieved without AI.
G. Apart from co-creating imaginative works, AI can also help artists avoid repeating tasks.
