How Many Artistic A.I.s Can Dance on the Head of a Pin?
In an artists’ Messenger group, the discussion (inevitably) turned to the legitimacy of A.I. output as “art.” This was my response, and it was the longest thing I’ve written in a while, so I figured I would repost it here to preserve it, with a couple of my comments down the thread.
