A New Yorker profile of Sam Altman featured controversial artwork that depicted Altman in a blue sweater surrounded by disembodied, eerie faces — some resembling him, others not. The piece was created by artist David Szauder using AI. Szauder, known for his mixed-media art, integrated AI with traditional methods, questioning the trustworthiness of AI-generated art and reflecting on Altman’s complex persona. The New Yorker’s choice to use generative AI art highlights debates over AI’s role and impact on traditional illustration. While some see AI as a threat, others, like Szauder, incorporate it into their creative process. At The Verge, any use of AI-generated imagery is clearly labeled to maintain transparency. The discussion continues on AI’s place in art and whether its creations can match the depth and intent of human-made art.
