I think AlphaGo was a great in-domain example of this. I definitely see things I'd refer to colloquially as 'creativity' in this DALL-E post, but you can decide for yourself, but that still isn't claiming it matches what some humans can do.
- rich_sasha 6y agoTrue, but AlphaGo exists in a world where everything is absolute. There are new ways of playing Go, but the same rules. If I train an AI on classical paintings, can it ever invent Impressionism, Cubism, Surrealism? Can it do irony? Can it come up with something altogether new? Can it do meta? “AlphaPaint, a recursive self-portrait”? Maybe. I’m just not sure we have seen anything in this dimension yet.

I see your point, but it's an unfair comparison: if you put a human in a room and never showed them anything except classical paintings, it's unlikely they would quickly invent cubism either. The humans that invented new art styles had seen so many things throughout their life that they had a lot of data to go off of. Regardless, I think we can do enough neural style transfer already to invent new styles of art though.
