Germany’s AI-generated Christmas stamp sparks fierce art debate
Deutsche Post's use of an AI checker, or AI detector, in designing its Christmas stamp has sparked debate. The stamp, created using the DALL-E platform, features a winter landscape. While some users defend its use of AI, an artist has called for a boycott.
Jan-Niklas Kröger, a Bonn resident, designed the stamp's concept. DALL-E, an AI image generator by OpenAI, brought the design to life. The final product shows a serene winter scene with trees, leaves, and a deer.
The stamp's AI origins have divided opinion. Some users appreciate the innovative approach, citing AI's potential in art. However, others express disappointment, preferring traditional human craftsmanship. An unidentified artist has gone as far as calling for a boycott.
Deutsche Post has responded to the backlash. The company acknowledges using AI as a supportive tool but emphasizes the human touch. They clarify that a human artist edited the AI-generated design.
