“High art”, where each piece is supposed to have meaning and advance a narrative with critics? Sure, algorithms can’t do that yet.
But for most people, art is just something they like looking at, and algorithms are great for producing that.
Also, the criticism that this isn’t good art because they all look kind of the same, is the same criticism levelled at human-produced pop music or trash fiction.
I wouldn’t be at all surprised to soon see an algorithm capable of producing a novel-length text of similar quality to that on sale at airport bookshops.
I think any decent art is trying to communicate something, That’s a core part of what makes art, art. So I think it’s way off to say that AI has “solved” art. It’s got the aesthetics part almost solved but that’s about it.
I’m not sure what you’re referencing with them all kind of looking the same, that’s not my problem with AI art.
