• Abstract: Discovering the creative potentials of a random signal to various artistic expressions in aesthetic and conceptual richness is a ground for the recent success of generative machine learning as a way of art creation. To understand the new artistic medium better, we conduct a comprehensive analysis to position AI-generated art within the context of human art heritage. Our comparative analysis is based on an extensive dataset, dubbed ``ArtConstellation,'' consisting of annotations about art principles, likability, and emotions for 6,000 WikiArt and 3,200 AI-generated artworks. After training various state-of-the-art generative models, art samples are produced and compared with WikiArt data on the last hidden layer of a deep-CNN trained for style classification. We actively examined the various art principles to interpret the neural representations and used them to drive the comparative knowledge about human and AI-generated art. A key finding in the semantic analysis is that AI-generated artworks are visually related to the principle concepts for modern period art made in 1800-2000. In addition, through Out-Of-Distribution (OOD) and In-Distribution (ID) detection in CLIP space, we find that AI-generated artworks are ID to human art when they depict landscapes and geometric abstract figures, while detected as OOD when the machine art consists of deformed and twisted figures. We observe that machine-generated art is uniquely characterized by incomplete and reduced figuration. Lastly, we conducted a human survey about emotional experience. Color composition and familiar subjects are the key factors of likability and emotions in art appreciation. We propose our whole methodologies and collected dataset as our analytical framework to contrast human and AI-generated art, which we refer to as ``ArtNeuralConstellation''.

  This survey explores the emerging realm of diffusion-based visual art creation, examining its development from both artistic and technical perspectives. Our findings reveal how artistic requirements are transformed into technical challenges and highlight the design and application of diffusion-based methods within visual art creation. We aim to shed light on the mechanisms through which AI systems emulate and possibly, enhance human capacities in artistic perception and creativity.

  ArtScore is a metric designed to evaluate the degree to which an image resembles authentic artworks by artists. We employ pre-trained models for photo and artwork generation, resulting in a series of mixed models. This dataset is then employed to train a neural network that learns to estimate quantized artness levels of arbitrary images.

  We first introduce a large-scale AIAA dataset: Boldbrush Artistic Image dataset (BAID), which consists of 60,337 artistic images covering various art forms. We then propose a new method, SAAN, which can effectively extract and utilize style-specific and generic aesthetic information to evaluate artistic images. Experiments demonstrate that our proposed approach outperforms existing IAA methods on the proposed BAID dataset.

  We propose a classification of the creative system with a hierarchy of 5 classes, showing the pathway of creativity evolving from a mimic-human artist to a Machine artist in its own right. In art creation, it is necessary for machines to understand humans' mental states, including desires, appreciation, and emotions, humans also need to understand machines' creative capabilities and limitations. We propose a novel framework for building future Machine artists, which comes with the philosophy that a human-compatible AI system should be based on the "human-in-the-loop" principle.
