It's not art, it's just graphics. Which is fine, the people selecting the graphics basically are interior decorators choosing what they enjoy seeing.

I don't think you fucking even glanced at the article.

From the second paragraph:

The life-size humanoid artist draws, paints, and makes sculptures. Algorithms process optical sensors embedded within the robot's eyes into a set of coordinates, guiding the robot's drawing hands. Whatever the humanoid sees, it can paint...

I still agree with him. It's not art. I'm an artist. Art is more than the physical construction that you can hold in your hands. If a robot is doing the work then it's nothing more than a glorified printer/copy machine. True art is tied to an emotional state. True artists attempt to convey their emotional state unto others. Great artists manage that feat.

In an interesting way the robot and AI itself is an art work of the human creators. One can see how it's a reflection of their values and the current times, etc.

All art is meant to do is evoke an emotional state. It doesn't matter if it was originally the artist's or not. If a machine can do this, then what is different?

Ever wonder why Facebook and Twitter are so good at promoting posts to the top of one's feed that evoke an emotional response and keep the user engaged? Because AI is used to read the post and analyze the posts to determine what should be there (it also has the side effect of making everyone insane, but that is another point) . It is getting really good at it, and art is just another medium.

That robot's going to be famous for fifteen minutes.

Famous, until a better performing one comes in, until robots doing "art" becomes so yesterday it's no longer news worthy

How long until it starts drawing Pepes & swastikas?

You can't really "displace" artists because their entire existence is subjective. They'll just come up with some other weird shit to call art like they always do.

That's a poor opinion of artists and art that you have here, but given what passes for art these days and who gets the "artist" label, I can't blame you

I guarantee you I've attended more live operatic performances than you.

I fucking sat through the entire production of Die Walküre. Granted it was only a operetta without the full blown costumes and set design, but they performed the entire musical score and I only fell asleep like three or four times.

I started practicing art before it was even a word in my vocabulary, and never felt the need to attend some stupid ass larp on stage to figure out that what I was doing was mine while the rest were just trendies doing what trendies do; follow trends

...

My thing is the pen, nothing fancy, just the pen, ballpoint pen gets my preference since forever

I've given into oil painting, but it's more expensive and more constraining regarding material possessions, and in the end I don't feel like I really need colors

said some interesting stuff here https://poal.co/s/technology/310390/a1b63de5-d3d8-4f42-b1be-d0d962becbd3#cmnts

>It's not art, it's just graphics.

Indeed, just because a pic has been done doesn't mean anything got summoned

Because in the end, that's really what it boils down to... It's not just the end result that matters, nor just what you've learned and felt during the execution while there's evidently some of that

In a way it's about being driven, somehow, with enough technical skills to render any mistake, accident, exploitable, so there's no dead end, only a coherent result

It's not just fill jobs to attain some predetermined objective. That, is "just graphics", as prairie's said
