“You hate AI art? Well name all real paintings!” the blog post.
Also talking about the urinal “Art, it seems, is most meaningful when it challenges our very concept of what art is.” No that was in 1917. Pretty sure that nowadays ‘what is art even?’ art is quite overdone and boring.
Ah, the highest form of art appreciation: badly designed surveys.
Art’s value is determined by two measurable factors: prettiness at a glance, and ungarbled signage, artist motivations be damned. With this in mind we can predict other advancements in entertainment (all art is entertainment!)
For example, future pro boxing matches will be performed by rock’em sock’em robots in skin suits. They can score more points than humans. Soccer will be performed by restaurant server robots…in skin suits. Humans will still have a place in Olympic skiing and swimming so long as human pleather warps in water.
I like how he even had someone with art expertise literally explain it to him and he writes it off as “lol she must have super artist vision for details.”
I don’t know there’s something here about how broken the way we engage with art is. How commodified art is inherently decontextualized and while you can see the beauty or the power or whatever you lose something without the curation and presentation you get from a gallery or a museum.
I also want to dunk on a few of the specific inclusions. AI clearly doesn’t understand the point of cubism in particular, making it an exceptionally clear example of what Scott’s artist friend was talking about. Including a digital photograph of a collage that clearly makes use of the depth of the actual work is pretty dumb.

As predicted by several science fiction movies iirc. (I’m ignoring the skin suits because oof mental image).
