Why of all things do we choose Art to emulate with AI? Is it because we have such poor understanding of what makes good Art that it helps to sell the technology? Time and time again, those who know Art are insulted by this product while the average AI company pats themselves on the back thinking they must be doing something right to piss off the Art snobs. What they're missing is that using AI this way is just pointing out how little the general population understands about Art.

- dTal 2y agoCynical answer: because art is a field where there is no unambiguous distinction between "correct" and "incorrect", between "good" and "bad". At the end of the day all that art needs to be is "interesting", and that's a much lower threshold to meet than, say, designing a functioning piece of machinery. Upbeat answer: because the current wave of AI is about getting computers to think fuzzily - dare I say intuitively - in terms that make sense to humans. Art is exactly the kind of thing that until recently seemed completely out of reach to our programming techniques, and the fact that computers can now do it at all still holds tremendous novelty value.
