In an age of sensory overload, oversupply, and performance pressure, artificial intelligence promises instant creativity. GPT models such as OpenAI's DALL-E generate impressive works of art in a wide variety of styles from descriptions in natural language. AI thus connects to the idea of an artistic universal genius. In addition, AI systems act as curators, for example in the music industry. This raises new questions about creative work, copyrights, and ownership, which take on further dimensions with hypes such as NFTs and Metaverse.
