Why This Award-Winning Piece of AI Art Can’t Be Copyrighted::Matthew Allen’s AI art won first prize at the Colorado State Fair. But the US government has ruled it can’t be copyrighted because it’s too much “machine” and not enough “human.”

Which I can also do. "Imagine a cave full of cats. The first cat is pink with yellow dots. The second cat glows in the dark. The third cat...."

I guess art involves expressing what you want to express it, sure. But also how you express it is part of it as well. If you make the strokes yourself, it's more impressive. A machine? You gotta do better than making it look like someone painted it.

It's like 3D printing. A 3D-printed statue? Neat. But not terribly impressive. A 3D figure that defies all optical illusion explanations? Now we're talking.
