Human artist would most likely inject their own take into "imitation" art, but if the computer's art was purely derived from an artist past work, it's only inspired by the artist work; this is in theory, even the code to enable this would most likely have biases that would result in artifacts in the "new" art.

Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher. “So that the room will be empty.” At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

- Dylan16807 11y agoUgh. I see the point in general, but the eye closing is a really broken analogy, and there is a difference between a bias and a preconception.
- nxzero 11y agoYes, the difference between bias and preconception is exactly what, or are you being bias? Seriously, lookup the meaning of the terms and see if what they mean are what you believe them to mean.
- Dylan16807 11y agoA preconception is an idea. A bias is much more general. If you're putting in a table, and you don't make it quite flat, you have biased the table, but you have not instilled preconceptions in the table.
- sp332 11y agoIt's not the case that randomly-generated weights will not have biases. The point is that if you generate weights randomly the computer will still have biases, you just don't know what they will be.
