This robot’s paintings showed at the Venice Biennale, but are they actually art?
Art never exists in isolation. It always needs someone to give it ‘art’ status. That goes for work created by AIs, too.
Ai-Da sits behind a desk, paintbrush in hand. She looks up at the person posing for her, and then back down as she dabs another blob of paint onto the canvas. A lifelike portrait is taking shape. If you didn’t know a robot produced it, this portrait could pass as the work of a human artist.
