robots are far from doing art interesting to us, but what's exaggerated? "singularity" is only mentioned in the title...
We would need to define interesting art too though. Robots can draw likable patterns and flowers, just not the more intellectual or personal stuff.
For my personal definition of interesting art: most anyone can do it, even some robots, but only few can do it on purpose. Like the difference between accidental, surreal moments in strangers conversations and the dialog in a Kaurismäki movie.
- awesomepantsm 10y agoI dunno. Robots already can make artistic artifacts, but certainly it wouldn't really be considered "good", but I would still stay it's interesting to us. http://arstechnica.com/the-multiverse/2016/06/an-ai-wrote-this-movie-and-its-strangely-moving/ http://arstechnica.com/the-multiverse/2016/06/an-ai-wrote-th...

- GarrisonPrime 10y agoIt could be that art is highly subjective from species to species. What is stimulating to a chimpanzee may not spark any emotions in a gorilla, and vice-versa. Just because 'bots may not create "human art" doesn't mean they'd be incapable of producing art at all.

- pmoriarty 10y agoTo me the interesting question isn't whether what the robot is doing is "good art" or "really art", but rather whether it's really the robot doing it or whether it's actually the robot's creator(s) doing it by means of the robot. In other words, the question of agency and responsibility. Can robots be truly independent and responsible for their own actions, or are they always nothing more than extensions of their creators?
