I raise the glove - Absolutely not art ! The only occasion that it might be is while the artist (human) ask for something revolutionary and use the AI “only” as a tool, but even then I am not sure. Trevor gave the machine “instructions” but isn’t the machine can generate a topic by itself and upload the income to this Gallery for example ? In this case, do we call all those millions of photos “Art”? One can say: The tool is not important, the outcome is. I accept this as an art when human use the tool, not a cat and not a machine which do what it wants. Art is a some kind of ingeniusity or ingenuity of a human mind. One of its virtues is innovation, doing something never done while knowing why you do it, what you have to say by it etc’. Do we accept such a deep thinking to a machine ? Sorry, Trevor, I appreciate you as an artist but (Meanwhile,) I do not appreciate a machine as artist although I can admire the good job it did.
