I've been intrigued by this idea of computers creating art. And not electric sheep those are just people creating art then computers building and sharing it, I don't like it.
The idea of using genetic algorithms to reproduce art is interesting, the idea of computers manipulating images to create new art from old art is also cool(automagically). I've been playing around with it.
I agree, but my argument is based on semantics. I believe when one creates "Artificial" intelligence, it isn't really artificial. I don't think intelligence cares what medium caries out the function of being intelligent.
As for art - computers are just as able to create art as humans, but only because so many people define art from the observer's perspective. If a person is inspired by an image, it shouldn't matter that it was nothing more than some pixel shifting algorithm reshaping a random google image selection.
