One could think that much of art is just pretty form without sense and that is why DALL-E works.
- the_af 4y agoI don't think that assessment of art is accurate. Most art is not "pretty form without sense". It actually has sense and meaning more often than not, so we can debate what a particular piece "means". The difference with engineering is that art's meaning is way more subjective, and that if I "miss the point" or simply disagree with the consensus on its meaning, this doesn't make an airplane go down or a nuclear reactor to melt down.
