You think software isn't art?
- alextheparrot 6y agoI suppose there is a reason they call software’s thinking artificial intelligence if we’re getting into the details
- msla 6y agoWhat are you talking about?
- alextheparrot 6y agoArtificial comes from a Latin root meaning “of or belonging to art”, which I found funny given your question

- Applejinx 6y agoMissing the point. Nobody is asking whether Jackson Pollock could code. The suggestion is that HN commenters are talking a big game about cutting-edge visual media, but they're not creating high quality visual art in such a way as to authenticate their specific opinions on other people's visual art. I've worked pretty hard on producing video support for my live synth music, and have got better at it over time. Doesn't make me a painter, though. In many ways my stuff is pretty pedestrian compared to working video artists: I tend to go for your basic 'light show effects', crowd-pleasing stuff. My imagination as far as coming up with really novel environments… that's what could use some work.
- the_af 6y agoPlenty of people in tech are also artists. I know I can draw pretty well, and I'm also a hobbyist.
