In the early 1900s, Walter Benjamin was utterly perplexed by the integration of photography into an artform. A widely respected essayist, the topic seeped into multiple of his works, leaving modernists and postmodernists with a plethora of views on the ways in which photography overshadows the works and the needs of artists. While 21st century creatives have not only accepted, but flourished in the photographical arts, they are presented with a new technological prowess; Artificial Intelligence (AI). The tool has quickly demonstrated remarkable capabilities across various fields, such as data science, automation, and numerical problem solving. However, its impact on the creative arts and language has resulted in considerable, and necessary debate. The balance between human creativity and unmatched computational power to create a fair contender of 'artwork' is being redefined, and it is time to determine to what extent AI produced work truly constitutes art.
