Under what definition of art can that be possible? Is art to you nothing more than an image? Why automate art and not other tasks? What is the point of automating art? Why would you not want to make art yourself and instead delegate it to a machine?
Art is whatever people put into it. If its a passion for you, theres nothing stopping you from making it. For me, art is mostly music designed to evoke an emotional response and game assets for hobby programming, not for commercial use. Im not profitting off either of those, but I don't have the funds to pay someone to make custom assets nor do I have the talent.
There has been art before that was not done by humans. There is a selfie of a monkey, paintings by elephants, semi-self generated art via fungus, etc. In those examples, the story is as much a piece of the art as the image itself. That subset of art cannot be replaced without simply lying.
And why do you think you do not have "talent"? What is that "talent" you speak of? Is it something people are born with? What is the problem with what you make, if all you care about is what people put into art?
"It" what? The pronoun "it" is referring to what? Art? Without this clarification I cannot accurately make sense of anything else in your response.
Keep in mind that, while defining a term, you cannot use that term in it's own definition.
I keep trying to tear away, but you are so goddamn funny.
Okay.
Right.
And it was nature that did this.
Nature took a picture of itself as a monkey.
Nature, in its monkey form, started a wild rube goldberg machine, including a monkey and the monkey's finger, to automate the picture taking process: a picture of nature.
Tree falls in forest. Thats art.
Nature created humans. Humans create art.
Take a paintbrush, hook it up to a treadmill. Thats art.
So many easy ways to automate art, its almost like you're poorly flailing to get a gotcha thats never going to happen. I was trying to be civil and not simply treat you like a dumbass, but seeing as you're intentionally trying to be one i no longer see the harm.
And now youre going to start spouting esoteric crap like humans not being a part of nature. Tf are we then, some other dimensional being? You think you've got a soul and that makes you different from nature, but all that really means is that you're bad at analysing things from perspectives other than your own.
Edit: lmfao nevermind, reading clearly isnt your strong suit. From the get go you've been spouting ireelevant bullshit like a child, then when i ignore your tantrum you double down. You're clearly not here for a discussion, so hopefully you won't be too terribly surprised when (surprise surprise) here in 20 years everything i said turns out to be true. To those that actually follow the tech and have for decades, none of what is currently happenning is surprising and weve been trying to warn people for years. But you always end up with people like you, too dumb to listen and too convinced of their own ego despite literally not making a single good point this entire conversation, hell even a single coherent thought. Have a great day 😄
