Modern "AI art" isn't really made by artificial intelligence. It's just a really sophisticated pattern recognition/prediction algorithm.
Isn't that what humans are?
Ugly. Bags. Of mostly. Water
I mean, one of the core ways we measure intelligence in humans is the ability to recognize and extrapolate patterns. You wouldn't call a lake a human, but you'd recognize they both share substantial proportions of the same chemical makeup.
Humans being made of water is not an essential characteristic that defines their function or purpose, whereas for a lake, being made of water is its defining attribute. On the other hand, the comparison between AI and human intelligence in terms of pattern recognition highlights the similarities in function, not the composition.
