Abstract
With the growing use of programs that operate with artificial intelligence to generate images and the implementation of AI-produced content on social media platforms such as Instagram, the question can be asked how this affects the general image of the artist as well as their function as integrated professionals within the creative industries. This thesis investigates the potential changes by looking at the history of 'the artist' to become aware of their current role within the creative industries. Additionally, to understand future developments and potential issues, critical discourse analysis is used to analyze Instagram posts of artists that take different positions toward AI-generated images and to put them into the context of pre-existing challenges.
