    In the GP's defense, the idea that great art will inevitably now be reduced to templates for style transfer algorithms is not too far away from Google's idea that scanned Google Books will serve as fodder for a future AI, i.e. their purpose is not to be read by humans but by machines. The choice of words is fairly strong but I guess the kind of person who is upset by philistinism feels strongly about it, art being a matter of personal feelings...

      Well said, thank you! It was actually a self-criticism about some perception shifts I've noticed in myself after using this tech. I'm excited to be on the cusp of upending human exceptionalism, especially in fields as emotionally precarious as art – a skill taken to be a rare specialization. There's something wonderfully spooky about arriving at change this profound while thoughtful approach withers against the collective bedroom curiosity of a million Seymour Krelborns birthing an organism with nothing more than a laptop they bought for college.
