Art isn't about statical copying or drawing well. It's about human expression.

- Gigachad 5y agoThese generated pieces look extremely similar to real human art so they look very expressive to me. And you can even add your own input by hitting refresh until you get something similar to what you wanted.
- peoplefromibiza 5y ago> And you can even add your own input by hitting refresh until you get something similar to what you wanted. that is the exact opposite of creation. I'd put it this way: this is the IKEA of drawing.
- Cthulhu_ 5y agoI hear what you're saying, but at the same time, there's a ton of mass-produced, low-creativity art out there, where the objective is not to express oneself but to churn out products with the intent to make money. This is not just in artwork, but in other design based things like e.g. website designs as well.
- capableweb 5y agoThere is definitely a difference between art and mass-produced art. In the beginning, we only had art as an expression of human creativity, and it's not until later that we got mass-produced art, whose only goal is to provide profits for the author(s). It'd be useful to distinguish the two in conversations like this.
- adrianN 5y agoIt doesn't seem far fetched that in the near future an "artist" doesn't need to be able to draw at all. If GANs or the like become sufficiently tunable, I can express myself by telling the GAN what I would like to have drawn.
- bmitc 5y agoThat's certainly a possibility, but is that intelligent or are paintbrushes already intelligent? :) In other words, in that case, it would simply be a tool directed by an intelligent being. We have that in many senses with generative and other computer-based art.
