I would like to think you're right. — T Clark
... the question pertinent is that of originality which is what real art should bring to the table... — simplyG
I wonder if it primarily appeals to a certain type of male taste. — Tom Storm
Mind you, there's a lot of art painted by highly skilled human beings for the market that I experience as empty and device ridden. — Tom Storm
If I sense a vitality and a distinctive point of view in a work, I tend to like it. But this is entirely personal. — Tom Storm
I think sufficiently advanced paint by numbers will be indistinguishable from any art humans can create. Human art will change, my guess is it will blend with science and scientists will be the new artists. Once we can do anything, there will be artistry in the choices in how to do it. — DingoJones
I feel the same way about all things digital. Maybe it’s the medium, or that all of it is largely a string of ones and zeroes, and a portrait of the artist as a person who moves a contraption around on his desk, clicking it every once in a while. Of course artificial intelligence could do that better than a human being, when you think about it. — NOS4A2
it doesn't really seem like AI art has advanced all that much since this year began compared to 2022 — Mr Bee
Try telling AI to start a new 'school of art'. What is happening is industrial plagiarism, and industrial forgery. It has an empty feel because it is clever copying and there is nothing creative happening. That does not mean it is possible to tell the difference, though. Plagiarism and forgery have long traditions too and can already be hard to impossible to detect. So it goes. Art has survived printing and photography, it will probably survive this. — unenlightened
Art is a creative process but sometimes it’s a destructive one too. Destructive in terms of destroying our deepest held convictions about the world and creative via romantic ideals or impressionism. Whatever the style may be beauty is mostly universal if it’s expressed elegantly enough and transcends time by being timeless and says something no matter how much society changes through the centuries. — simplyG
The question is what distinguishes human creativity from machine creativity as the latter is merely a program which produces results via input whereas human creativity stems from something different altogether such as emotion which machines are incapable of feeling. — simplyG
But think about all those poor guys who make motel room and doctor's office art. They need to work too. — T Clark
For me, "aesthetic experience" is an act of communication between two people. What happens when there is only one person there? — T Clark
What would human life be like if we never had to work? — T Clark
Forgive me for going off on a tangent, but this makes me think about political issues like the 32 hour work week and universal basic income. At what point are humans just along for the ride while machines do all the real stuff? Would that be a bad thing? I'm retired and I'm as happy as I've ever been. What would human life be like if we never had to work? — T Clark
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
