I’ve lost follower acquaintances for saying this, so I’m saying it again: If you think that Statistical Nonsense Machines (wrong terms “AI” or “ML”) make art, you don’t have a clue what art is.

No, really. Go study it.

Art is sociological artifact. Remove the cognition to create interpreted intent in relation to the sign and signified, and the concept of “art” is removed.

Literally *not* art.

Okay, but that’s just playing fancily with definitions. In that sense, it’s obviously not art.

But I personally like AI art and can sometimes strongly relate to an art piece created by a piece of code, and/or find it very beautiful…
