Define art, though.

As it stands neural networks and LLMs can't do it, because they lack imagination. A human can use it as tool to make art though, and we don't have these silly kinds of conversations about photoshop (anymore!).

As for the OP, you've taken it a bit more literally and reacted a bit more defensively than I think is warranted. The point is about our systems priorities, not so much the specifics.

I have a feeling if we performed a lobotomy-like surgery on someone that eliminated their imagination and told them to just put paint on a canvas, you'd still call that art.

I would, at least. There's some subjectivity to the definition of art and what people think has artistic value.

Of course. That's the point; it's subjective, and yet we have people declaring that AI/LLM output isn't art.

I miss when Lemmings actually replied why they were downvoting...
