plagiarism != art
No matter how many artists' work is collected, combined, and regurgitated as algorithm puke, it's still not art and never will be.
Anyone spreading this misinformation and trying gatekeep being an artist after the avant-garde movement doesn't have an ounce of education in art history. Generative art, warts and all, is a vital new form of art that's shaking things up, challenging preconceptions, and getting people angry - just like art should.
Oh this is just nonsense. This isn't "gatekeeping being an artist". You want to be an artist? Great! learn some skills and make some art (you know, your own art, which you make yourself). And yes I know "all art is derivative". That is entirely beside the point.
Machine learning is a vacuum connected to a blender. It ingests information which it combines with statistical analyses and then predicts an output based on an algorithm generated from the statistical model. There is nothing "avant-garde" here because all it can do is regurgitate existing material which it has ingested. There's no inspiration, it can't make anything new, and it can only make any product by ripping off someone else's work.
Your comment made my day. Thanks.
