Vincent van Gogh spent decades perfecting his impressionist style. You can master it in one minute with the new AI art generator called DALL-E. Do we even need artists any more?

DALL-E 2 is an artificial intelligence image generator released to the public on Sept 28, 2022. Considered by experts to be a noticeable jump in technology, the website or app allows users to type in any imaginary prompt “a monkey eating grapes in Mexico in the style of Picasso” and in a few seconds generates a new unique image that tries to match the prompt.

Try DALL-E for yourself!

The Questions

Adam & Chris imagine the implications and effects of AI generated art including questions like:

  • How does this work?

  • Could AI generated art replace the human artist?

  • Who are the people behind DALL-E art and what are their goals?

  • What does the future look like with AI generated art?

  • Is their a Christian viewpoint on AI generated art?

  • What happens in a world where everything can be unique?
