用AI生成《出埃及记》场景，探究机器能否再现神圣叙事的想象力。
Mimesis, Poiesis, and Imagination: Exploring Text-to-Image Generation of Biblical Narratives
- 以模仿与创造理论为框架，分析MidJourney生成的摩西画像
- AI图像虽美但受训练数据影响，缺乏神学深度与作者意图
- 适合对宗教视觉化、AI艺术伦理感兴趣的读者
本研究探讨人工智能在可视化《圣经》叙事中的作用，以《出埃及记》2:5-9（摩西在尼罗河被发现）为例，使用MidJourney生成图像。基于摹仿（mimesis）与创造（poiesis）的古典概念，通过与谷歌图片结果及古典绘画对比，评估AI生成图像在风格、神学与文化层面的表现。研究发现，尽管AI能产出美学丰富、富有想象力的图像，但仍反映其训练数据的偏见与局限。研究指出AI可辅助人类想象，却难以实现真正的创造力、作者意图与神学深度。结论认为，AI可作为重释《圣经》文本的创作伙伴，但在神圣艺术中的角色仍复杂且存争议。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This study explores the intersection of artificial intelligence and the visualization of Biblical narratives by analyzing AI-generated images of Exodus 2:5-9 (Moses found in River Nile) using MidJourney. Drawing on the classical concepts of mimesis (imitation) and poiesis (creative generation), the authors investigate how text-to-image (T2I) models reproduce or reimagine sacred narratives. Through comparative visual analysis, including Google image results and classical paintings, the research evaluates the stylistic, theological, and cultural dimensions of AI-generated depictions. Findings show that while AI excels in producing aesthetically rich and imaginative visuals, it also reflects the biases and limitations of its training data. The study highlights AI's potential to augment human imagination but questions its capacity for genuine creativity, authorial intent, and theological depth. It concludes by suggesting that AI can serve as a creative partner in reinterpreting biblical texts, though its role in sacred art remains complex and contested.
