The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the field of artistic creation has raised profound questions about its impact on traditional techniques, cultural heritage, and the essence of artistic creativity. This paper examines how AI’s presence in the fine arts blurs the boundaries of artistic creation, challenging established norms and inviting reflection on its consequences for the future of artistic expression. By exploring the intersection of AI, magic, and contemporary art, this study investigates the potential risks and opportunities presented by AI-generated art. It analyses the relationships between AI technology and artistic creation in the past, present, and future, drawing on historical and contemporary viewpoints. This highlights the necessity of evaluating AI’s impact on the evolution of art in the digital era critically.
