Social media have recently been flooded with AI-generated content. Sometimes it is very easy to recognize, and sometimes you have to scrutinize the details, almost at the pixel level. Of course, not everyone cares about this, but I, like many others, am principled in this matter. I just don’t like to feel deceived. As a viewer, I am interested in someone else’s imagination, as an artist - someone else’s technique and skill. But how can something that was not created by human be interesting in the artistic sense? Of course, there are many beautiful things in the world that appeared without human participation. Sunsets, flowers, seascapes and all nature in general are beautiful. But this begins to relate to art only as a result of creative reflection. A machine cannot perceive the world through the prism of aesthetic awareness. All that AI does is iteratively improve random information, noise, until it meets some formal criteria of “plausibility”. You can splash paint on a canvas, and

Recently I was reading popular science books, namely Stephen Hawking's "The Theory of Everything: The Origin and Fate of the Universe" and Michio Kaku's "Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes". Being already excited about the mysteries of the nature of space and time, I was amazed how the concept of multi-dimensional space influenced modern art. Picasso and Duchamp tried to render the fourth dimension in their paintings. Cubo-Futurism, Russian avant-garde art movement of the 1910s, aimed to depict time along with space. Dali's "Crucifixion" was inspired by tesseract, a 4D cube, and Escher's famous impossible drawings are based on non-Euclidean geometry with spaces curved in higher dimensions. Now it seems that our whole Universe is actually multi-dimensional, because fundamental laws of physics cannot be consistently formulated in three-dimensional space. What seemed like pure mathematical fantasy, may be very real, so I feel like we are now on the verge of
