Description

This paper explores the transformative integra-
tion of Large Language Models (LLMs) within
the fine arts, moving beyond simple automa-
tion toward a paradigm of augmented creativity.
While initial discourse surrounding AI in art
focused heavily on visual generative outputs,
this study examines the LLM as a conceptual
and structural tool. By analyzing the shift from
"creation" to "curation," we investigate how
artists leverage semantic processing to bridge
the gap between abstract thought and physi-
cal manifestation. We argue that LLMs do not
replace the artist’s hand but rather extend the
artist’s "voice," allowing for the exploration
of linguistic erosion, algorithmic bias, and in-
teractive installations. The result is a hybrid
medium that challenges traditional notions of
authorship and the "aura" of the original work
in the digital age.
