The success of artificial intelligence software such as Midjourney, DALL-E and Stable Diffusion has raised fears that this technology could one day replace artists. But a study published in the US journal PNAS Nexus suggests that this day is not yet upon us.

In fact, the authors of this research argue that artificial intelligence does not master the emotional and practical components of creativity. They came to this conclusion after examining over four million works published on an art-sharing site between January 2022 and May 2023.
