AI passes the aesthetic Turing Test, sparking a new conversation about art and authorship
A wave of new experiments in artificial intelligence has produced works that many viewers cannot reliably tell apart from those created by human hands. In what researchers call the aesthetic Turing Test, judges assess whether an artwork—be it a painting, a video, or a musical piece—has a human signature or could have been generated by a machine. Recent demonstrations and analyses suggest that AI can generate highly convincing art across multiple media, challenging long-held beliefs about creativity, meaning, and the source of cultural value. For Thai readers, this discussion touches not only global digital culture but the heart of our own artistic traditions, education systems, and economy that celebrate craftsmanship, teachers, and family studios.
