Comparing the AI Art Generation conversation with the “What is AI” conversation. Notes on Molly Steenson’s talk AI means “making machines do things that would need intelligence if done by man” “improve themselves” “be conscious of its existence” Therefore Can AI make art? No, it can’t, not as long as “AI Art Generators” are still being built the same way they are. AI Art Generators feel like NLP tools, in the way that in how they were made, they don’t mimic the way the human mind actually thinks. [often, they work backwards]
