What an interesting thought!!
It led me to another: you know how AI can imitate painting styles? Well, perhaps an AI could also figure out a style, by itself (i.e. given constraints, but no style to follow.) i.e. it figures out a new one! But which has a novel effect, on humans and as judged by a computer. Once we have been shown the style, humans could improve by starting to use that! We might like the effect, be able to judge that it is good, but just never saw that way before.
Imagine if AI had invented pointillism, impressionism, cubism, etc! Imagine if it figures out the next "global optimum" from putting splotches of paint down, showing human artists a new way to see. Wow.
- EGreg 10y agoWhen humans are the judge, how are you going to test trillions of combinations per minute?
- logicallee 10y agoI don't know. I am assuming there is some other way to judge "what something looks like!" - something that an AI could learn, be programmed with, derive, or invent. My assumption could be false and perhaps there is no way to approach aesthetics with anything other than a human brain, or training on the outputs of human brains. But if the AI had brain-like features, couldn't it be its own judge? Couldn't it have as an emergent property, its own sense of aesthetics or meaning, which it could then approach using its own naive approaches. Which humans could say "Wow" to. AI as the ultimate naive painter. What a concept! I realize it presupposes a lot that may never come to pass.
