I expect this to be the next big human activity where machines consistently beat humans within ten years.
We already have neural networks that can apply a painting style; creating a new style, and impacting a political or sentimental meaning to a painting, will soon be within grasp.
To quantify it, I offer a Turing-like test that I expect to be beat within ten years: there will be a machine-generated work of art that will be sold higher than human-made ones at an auction in which there are both human and machine works of art, but where nobody in the room knows which is which.
- bdamm 9y agoPieces at that auction may be worth more specifically because of the auction and the mystique of the times.
- Magnusmaster 9y agoAfter seeing what passes for "art" at MoMA, I wouldn't be surprised if a painting made by a neural network today were sold higher than a human-made one at an auction.
