Thousands of artists are urging the auction house Christie’s to cancel a sale of art created with artificial intelligence, claiming the technology behind the works is committing “mass theft”.

The Augmented Intelligence auction has been described by Christie’s as the first AI-dedicated sale by a major auctioneer and features 20 lots with prices ranging from $10,000 to $250,000 for works by artists including Refik Anadol and the late AI art pioneer Harold Cohen.

Of course! I didn't mean to suggest you are arguing about the soul thing. I'm sorry if that's the impression I created, since you've been very clearly arguing on a very different tract that I firmly agree with.

Oh dear no I'm repying to agree. It is all good.

It's a lazy Sunday and while I have a dozen better things to do trying to make clear posts about ai in a place where people will agree intelligently is a nice waste of time.
