The AI Gaze on Art: A Conversation with ChatGPT

In our technology-driven world, artists are no longer immune to the influence of artificial intelligence. While we often think of AI as a tool for design, automation, or even curation, can it perceive art? Can it feel its essence?

Curious about this intersection, I posed a question to ChatGPT: What is the most compelling painting featured on my website?

The response?

"I find Irina Gorbman's 'After Yellowstone' particularly compelling. This 36 x 36-inch oil on canvas, created in 2013, captures the mesmerizing essence of Yellowstone National Park's geysers, evoking a sense of otherworldly beauty. The artist's reflection on the hypnotic allure of the Old Faithful geyser and the vibrant smaller geysers is evident in the composition, suggesting that there's more than meets the eye."

As an artist, I have my personal favorites—works that hold deep energy, emotion, and intention. Yet, audience reactions sometimes surprise me. When my personal favorite aligns with public sentiment, it's an affirmation of the vibrational energy I strive to channel through my work.

I’d love to hear from you. What painting speaks to you the most? Let’s have a conversation. Feel free to inquire about a Zoom studio visit for a closer look at After Yellowstone — or to discuss a special collector’s price.

Looking forward to your thoughts!
