In 2022, Jason M. Allen created the piece titled "Théâtre D’opéra Spatial" using the Midjourney AI art generator. He won first place in the Colorado State Fair’s annual art competition. However, Allen has faced significant criticism from many artists . AI feeds off the art pieces that are already on the web, so AI-generated images start looking a lot like other art pieces. “I don't think it's fair to artists because it's kind of like a copyright that is not regulated right now,” Sofia Arcila, TCS Art teacher, said.
