Artificial intelligence can help narrow that gap, making art more accessible to more people. Now, anyone can be an artist with the utilization of artificial intelligence. We could reasonably speculate that this has the potential to breed more love and admiration for art, and perhaps inspire aspiring artists to pursue further training in the craft. 6. Conclusion Despite the contentious conversations surrounding artificial intelligence and its use in art, none of the arguments presented against its use seem valid. At the very least, they are perilously questionable. Not only do the images generated by artificial intelligence constitute art, but the artificial intelligence itself is not the chief agent in their production. Caution toward burgeoning technologies may very well be prudent, but we need not be fearful of art that is generated by artificial intelligence. Indeed, the arguments against its use, or, at least, the arguments presented in this paper, are perilously questionable at best. Indeed, they do not seem as bulletproof as their proponents may like to believe. Everything occurring within this cultural snapshot has happened before; the only difference is that machines are doing it this time around. In an economy like the United States, jobs are created and destroyed over time, and this has occurred many times over already.
