It's one of the first work of art by an AI. Think of how much this fact alone will increase the price of the painting in 200 years.

- king_magic 8y agoEhhhh, but is it really a "work of art"? That's what I take issue with.
- dagw 8y agoSurely anything successfully sold as a work of art at an art auction by an auction house famous for selling works of art de facto becomes a work of art.
- madaxe_again 8y agoExcept it really isn’t - it’s an output of an ML algo designed for one task, which I’d hesitate to call AI. I had my portrait painted by a robot with a camera and some variety of edge-finding DSP at the London Science Museum in about 1990 - and they touted that as “AI art”. Also - what about Conway’s game of life? Is that not art?
- dmhn 8y agoThere is a difference between price and value: an art collector may buy a ‘work of art’ for a ridiculous price, hoping that someone else will buy it for an even more ridiculous price. However, the speculations of art collectors do not determine the actual value of the ‘work of art.’ And it seems that very few people outside of the art collecting business actually value AI generated artwork (that’s probably why it was expected to sell for only 10k).
