But innovation in and of itself is not the same as intelligence. Rather, in an ordinary snow shovel, optimization should be a method in the service of optimizing our beliefs in advance.
The art world and AI have at least one thing in common – they are built from adversaries. The prison bitch is our teacher, and it is Christmas Eve in the drunk tank when the significance of artists like Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons, Damien Hirst, and Takashi Morikami is nothing if not proof of this condition.
Why? There is no overt distinction between content generated by a human and images made without hands. American art neither wishes to corrupt nor actually do so. The whole situation is corrosive, for both patrons and artists are hallucinating.
