Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized diverse fields, including art, raising questions about the authenticity and value of AI-generated artworks. This essay explores the legitimacy of AI art, examining whether these creations qualify as genuine art and how they integrate into the broader art historical context. It scrutinizes the theoretical debates surrounding the incorporation of AI applications in artistic creation, emphasizing the importance of understanding the creation and reception processes in evaluating the legitimacy of AI art.
