Exploring how concepts of artistic creation and authorship are affected when artificial intelligence sources and creates content, \u003ci\u003eEndless Artists \u003c\/i\u003eequips readers to engage in cultural discourse without succumbing to uninformed misconceptions about AI.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book has two main sections, each of which comprises a group of perspectives on AI meant to offer opportunity for critical questioning rather than definitive conclusions. Using post-humanist scholarship, Ryan Prewitt and K. Wilson unpack common arguments about the dangers of generative AI, revealing the often-unsupported assumptions about art, authorship, the production of meaning, and who owns them implicit in each. The authors then build stronger alternative arguments against thematically resonant AI, drawing upon a range of philosophical approaches and pointing to generative AI's institutional enmeshments to elucidate AI's sinister aspects and consequences\u003cb\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRyan Prewitt \u003c\/b\u003eis Assistant Professor of Rhetoric and Composition at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA.
