But it is a worthless parlor trick. Hell, I could “create” pieces of art like that in Photoshop in a few hours if I really wanted to. How is that in any way anything beyond the bare minimum for creativity or artistry? Why is using a GAN to do that any more artistic? This kind of artwork is the literal definition of “derivative”.
But hey, people are free to waste their money if they like.
- nothrabannosir 8y agoThis sounds like every argument against Mondriaan.
- TheOtherHobbes 8y agoIt would only be an argument against Mondriaan if Mondriaan could easily be turned into a Photoshop plug-in. I tried to make an auto-Mondriaan machine once, and I gave up after a few days. It's one of the hardest things I've attempted. It's incredibly easy to splash some black lines and primary fills around, and unbelievably hard to get the proportions and density right.
- aurelwu 8y agoI think the artistic value in that one specific Picture does not lie in the image itself but that the artist was the first one to put an AI-generated Image on display and proclaimed it art in such a way that it found a buyer. Now that it has been done, other AI-created images are boring I think. (AI-assisted generation of Artworks which still have a substantial amount of a human artists creativity and craft involved is another matter and could find its niché (similar to other tool-assisted art like procedural art)

- CyberDildonics 8y agoThat significance is because it was an originator and trail blazer of the cheap parlor trick.
