Generative AI viewed as historical art process, not rupture

This paper frames generative artificial intelligence not as a new technological leap, but as a large-scale manifestation of historical processes in art creation. It proposes a taxonomy of generative systems and identifies systemic risks like model collapse, suggesting environmental enrichment as a countermeasure. The role of the artist is redefined from a craftsman to a systems designer and curator, with creative agency residing in humans distributed along the AI pipeline. AI

IMPACT Reframes generative AI as an evolution of historical artistic processes rather than a novel rupture.
