Text 1: Art historian Professor Angela Davis argues that AI-generated art lacks authentic creativity. "True art emerges from human experience, emotion, and intention," Davis writes. "AI merely recombines existing patterns without understanding or feeling. The result may be visually interesting but spiritually empty."
Text 2: Digital artist Kai Zhang embraces AI as a creative tool. "I use AI to generate initial concepts that I then refine and transform," Zhang explains. "The AI becomes part of my creative process, like a sophisticated brush. The human vision and judgment remain essential—AI is a collaborator, not a replacement."
How does Zhang's position in Text 2 relate to Davis's concern in Text 1?
It directly contradicts Davis's claim that AI cannot create authentic art
It addresses Davis's concern by emphasizing human guidance in AI-assisted creation
It agrees with Davis that AI alone cannot produce meaningful art
It dismisses Davis's argument as based on outdated understanding of technology
Correct Answer: B
Choice B is the correct answer. Zhang implicitly addresses Davis's concern about AI lacking human elements by emphasizing that "human vision and judgment remain essential" in AI-assisted art. The human provides what AI lacks.
- Evidence: Zhang stresses human refinement, transformation, and judgment.
- Reasoning: This responds to Davis's concern by keeping humans central to the creative process.
- Conclusion: Zhang's model preserves human creativity while using AI as a tool.
Choice A is incorrect because Zhang doesn't claim AI alone creates authentic art. Choice C is incorrect because Zhang goes further—suggesting AI-plus-human can create meaningful work. Choice D is incorrect because Zhang doesn't attack Davis's understanding of technology.
