Didn’t an ai win a fine arts competition recently? I’d say it’s already creating master pieces. Most of what we’re seeing is really impressive style mashups where ai is generating art based on our aesthetic tastes and understanding of gestalt.

I imagine in 10, 15 years we’ll be well beyond that - with ai driving innovations in artwork theory entirely independent of human intervention. It just really needs to break out of a human trained model into something akin to free-thinking. I’m pretty stoked about it, really. Change is the constant humanity tends to fear and detest - the arts are usually a bit more liberal but we’ve seen this pattern with the introduction of photography. This will allow us to bridge a new realm of what art could be.
