Andrew Doyle argues that AI-generated work may move an audience or imitate a human style, but still cannot be art because a machine has no lived experience or inner life to express.
Why it mattersHe makes the case in an UnHerd essay, while allowing that AI can be a useful creative and editorial tool. So the argument is not simply “machine bad, artist good”; it is about whether the work’s origin matters as much as its effect. A tidy distinction, if not exactly one that will settle the dinner table.
Discuss: Is art defined by what moves us, or by the mind and experience behind it?
