This term is used to describe people who claim to be artists but actually use artificial intelligence to create art. It comes from a combination of words "fake" and "artist". It can be applied to both people who openly call themselves AI artists and those who hide that they use artificial intelligence.
-I really like this artist's work
-Unfortunately, she's not the one drawing it, these images are generated by AI
-Oh, so she's a fartist?
