AI-Generated Masterpieces Stir Controversy in Art Circles

With the rise of AI-generated art gaining traction in galleries and competitions, debates have intensified around its legitimacy.

Others counter that AI is simply a tool—like a paintbrush or camera—and the creativity lies in its use. As major art institutions begin to face entries created by generative algorithms, this poll asks: Should these works be eligible for awards traditionally reserved for human artists?
