there is a form of art called "found object art", which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. Once upon a time, I asked my art instructor what the difference is between this art and a random object on my desk, couldn't anybody just pick up an object and call it art? The answer she gave was that the art is not in the object but in the context - of people observing the object as art, discussing its symbolism and merits. machine learning lowers the skill barrier to producing art, but in a lot of contexts this barrier never existed in the first place. To have any value art must be meaningful to people, and there are fewer things less meaningful than learning that a painting was churned out mechanically in a painting mill, paint by numbers, or optimization algorithm.
