A computer as powerful as Deep Blue could simulate billions of possible games and choose moves that led to the best outcome. Most computer scientists urged caution: winning at chess is an example of domain-specific intelligence, not general intelligence. Upgraded and reprogrammed, Deep Blue won the rematch a year later, leading Kasparov to complain that IBM had cheated.ĭeep Blue’s victory led to countless conversations about whether artificial intelligence was finally challenging human capabilities. In 1996, an IBM supercomputer named Deep Blue played chess champion Garry Kasparov and lost, four matches to two. Humans lost.” AI has “conquered” other fields of human endeavour before. Programs like Midjourney-other systems include Dall-E and Stable Diffusion-generate new images using algorithms trained on millions of photographs, paintings and digital images, all of which were produced by humans.Īllen is leaning into this controversy, telling the New York Times: “Art is dead, dude. Still, there’s been a predictable backlash to Allen’s work from critics who worry both that digitally generated art will outcompete the work of human artists, and that human artists are being exploited by AI image-generation systems. The Colorado State Fair judges stated that his piece was permitted within the rules of the category he entered.
Allen was transparent about his process, submitting his work as “Jason M Allen via Midjourney”. Instead, the image was created using Midjourney, an AI system that turns text prompts-“a dark theatre stage lit by a circular portal” say, or whatever Allen typed in-into original digital images. The image depicts a stage populated by figures in flowing velvet robes, illuminated by a massive circular porthole, looking out onto a mountain range.Īllen’s work looks like the product of many careful hours manipulating digital photos in a program like Photoshop. Jason Allen won this year’s prize in digital arts at the Colorado State Fair with an image titled Théâtre D’opéra Spatial.
