Sometimes it feels like the need for a human to finesse the result into something appealing is a limitation of the current technology. As in, if it were possible to somehow create an algorithmic criteria for "what one is looking for" in regards to some specific subset of art and let it feed into the model and back ad infinitum, people would prefer that to doing the manual work of sifting through the rejects. If that hypothesis becomes true, I think it will have severe implications for the value of human intention in art. Would we prefer that endless feedback loop over the painstaking labor of honing a skill for oneself? I don't think it's clear yet, because the technology is still too limited to test such a hypothesis. But would that become the norm if it were possible? Of course, I don't know if such an subjective concept is encodable in an algorithm. But I'm not beyond believing that such an advancement would be highly desirable if the technology progresses far enough, to the point that something "good enough" for most people and aesthetic styles will emerge. People have already been taken by surprise from the developments in generative art so far.
