My partner, a dedicated and talented artist, has been expressing her fears about how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the art world. She worries that her skills are becoming less valued as AI allows people to create art in seconds without any hard work or effort. This concern is not limited to her alone but resonates with many artists who have devoted their lives to mastering their craft.

Artificial Intelligence has made significant strides in recent years. It's now capable of creating artwork that can sometimes be indistinguishable from pieces created by human artists. A study published by Rutgers University revealed that people could not tell the difference between abstract artwork created by an AI and a human artist 75% of the time (Rutgers University, 2017).

While technological advancement should be celebrated, it's important to consider its impact on traditional arts and crafts. The use of AI-related programs in competitive art competitions threatens to undermine the value of human creativity and hard work.

We need your support to ensure that talent, skill, and dedication remain at the heart of artistic competition. Let us preserve our cultural heritage by maintaining a space for human creativity in competitive arts events.
