In his discussion of forgeries, Dutton is very clear on one point: creating a forgery is a kind of achievement, just not the kind of achievement that we might have initially thought it was. The same is no doubt true of AI-generated art; Allen’s work is an artistic performance, and it is to some degree an achievement. But, as Dutton puts it, ‘the fundamental question then is, what has the artist done, what has he achieved?’. This is a question which, for AI-generated art, has hardly even been asked. - Anthony Cross, Tool, Collaborator, or Participant: AI and Artistic Agency
