The context was a little bit different, but it remains true for learning to do artwork, too. The computer has got absolutely no kind of awareness, in the context of understanding life. It can not learn to become creative. AI can learn to distinguish words, but it even doesn't learn the meaning of the words. The pattern detection learns by feedback to distinguish words, but to understand what the words mean, it checks a data bank and then follows conventionally programmed rules, to react. It's similar for composing. Google pretend to do research regarding artificial creativity, but the way they're doing it is ridiculous and will lead to big nothing. A human child learns to distinguish words, the meaning of the words, to use the words creatively for life, in interaction with life experience, since only this allows to learn the meaning and usage of the words. AI as we know it has absolutely nothing in common with human intellect.
