people say artists are gone etc, but doing a painting or taking a photo can be a pastime that is enjoyable and it doesnt matter if a machine can do it better, people still use their legs even though we can drive. people paint and draw and create besides the fact that its a career, i think people will still be creating art for a long time yet probably forever. i like to paint and draw im not going to stop because a machine can outmatch me in a sort mechanical way.

also can a machine create a unique or evolving style, the same way we have had new artists and styles through the centuries, these programs are good at copying, but what about innovating new styles from scratch, ie the way the impressionist movement organically grew. i think new styles are very dependant on something only humans with emotions can draw from and how we see the world around us. if we tell these programs create a new style, based on the world and philosophy and events of the time, can it create something new and fresh and relevant, and does it even understand the concept of style.

would you rather have a sketch your kid did on the fridge door or ask a machine to give you one that resembles somethings your kid would did.
