Contemporary AI art's diverse and widely recognized repertoire features numerous artworks that share conceptual, thematic, narrative, procedural, or presentational properties with other artworks across disciplinary and historical spectrums. AI artists occasionally leverage well-sanctioned poetic referencing as an asset but when obvious or easily discoverable similarities remain unacknowledged, they may become liabilities. Lurking behind the hype waves in the media, art world, and academia, these liabilities shape contemporary AI art's cultural identity and affect its social impact. As part of a broader study of poetic contingencies, in this paper I discuss selected AI art exemplars whose multifaceted expressive parallels are symptomatic of the field and beyond. I argue that expressive similarities in AI art are as detrimental to its cultural value as they are avoidable in its variety of important topics addressable with a wide range of creative affordances. My critique takes the well-informed autonomy of expression and the socially responsible freedom of creative thinking as the tenets of artmaking to indicate some of AI art's related issues and challenges induced by its entanglements with AI science, technology, and industry. In conclusion, I suggest that poetic similarities open a valuable perspective for studying AI art's strengths and deficiencies and for articulating a broader critical discussion of art and creativity.

翻译：当代AI艺术多样且广受认可的作品库中，包含大量在概念、主题、叙事、过程或呈现方式上与其他跨越学科与历史谱系的艺术作品具有共通属性的作品。AI艺术家偶尔会利用受认可的诗意参照作为创作资源，但当明显或易于发现的相似性未被承认时，这些参照可能转化为创作隐患。潜藏在媒体、艺术界与学术界的炒作浪潮背后，这些隐患塑造着当代AI艺术的文化身份，并影响其社会效应。作为对诗意偶然性更广泛研究的一部分，本文选取了若干AI艺术范例进行探讨——这些作品多层次的表现性平行关系正是该领域乃至更广范畴的典型症候。我认为，AI艺术中的表现性相似性既损害其文化价值，又完全可以通过其广泛创作可能性所涵盖的重要议题得以避免。本文批判以知情自主的表达与社会责任感的创造性思维自由为艺术创作原则，据此揭示AI艺术因与人工智能科学、技术及产业的交织而产生的相关问题与挑战。最后提出：诗意相似性为审视AI艺术的优劣提供了宝贵视角，也为开展更广泛的艺术与创造力批判讨论开辟了路径。
