The Portrait of Edmond de Belamy, sold in 2018 by the French collective Obvious, exemplifies the rise of AI-generated art. Utilizing GAN technology, this work foreshadows the shift toward more advanced systems like Dall-E and Midjourney, challenging the very definition of art. The painting raises questions about originality, intent, and authenticity in machine-generated works.
