Tell me… how do you explain ML generated art winning art awards recently?

Art is part expression and part context. What you consider art, everyone else might consider junk.

But you may consider something pedestrian expression and others see it as high art.

Are John Cage’s compositions art? How about Venus de Milo? The Nutcracker? The pyramids? The way I arrange my shoes?

That totally misses the point.

Is art what YOU have passion about?

Or is it also what I, as a purveyor of art, have passion about?

And would you say that ballet is art? Because you’re never going to master that art form without both passion AND daily lessons.

You brought it up, not me.

Ballet is an art.

But I'm a flat-footed short guy with the coordination of a diabetic llama on a good day.

Should I take ballet lessons in hope of mastering it?
