THIS is what AI art should be like. Hard for humans, easy for computers, amazing visuals. And on top of that it functional as well.

I feel like this is closer to how human artists create, artists have a set of constraints, and a lot of limitations, and forcing NN to output valid QR codes puts the same constraints on the process itself.

Next step, include the QR reader in the training loop, and make it differentiable to increase the valid output from 1/4 to 100%

Agreed! The wisest peeps (I always harp) see AI Art as a functional tool on the metaphorical toolbelt. It doesn't make all the other tools obsolete, it's the tippy top of the pyramid so to speak.

The cherry-on-top to refine things we cannot do, adding an artificial flare to the organic substance, yada, yada, yada.
