The cellist Jan Vogler famously claimed that art is what makes us human. But what if machines start making art too?
When art is made to satisfy the needs of a third party . . . it is illustration or commercial art, not fine art. If fine art is ever to be made by artificial intelligence, it must be its own: produced by machines autonomously, independently, and actively for the machine’s own sake and with the machine’s own aesthetics. Only in that case would the art not be a passive product of human creation . . .
