That's incredible.

I'm not a guy who gets mad at the inevitable, but I can't help but think the robots are coming for the visual artists and illustrators, fast.

Set your clock because this is 2020, and 2030 will look much different.

The guy who made this IS the artist. Making that program took lots of creativity and aesthetic sense.

I think this is true for (at least) one reason: robots can iterate a lot faster. Content generation is a human bottleneck.

[prediction] As robots improve to produce better and more art, the value of authentic human art will rise.

It will not matter if you can't tell the difference. The knowledge that a human produced it will be enough.

That's a curious thought. I would actually go the other way. Imagine if some AI art systems were truly better than others, and became exclusive? How fun!

Also machines are good at applying existing styles, not creating them. For this the artist will still be needed.
