I suspect the latter - with no actual knowledge of the programming involved. Artistic creation assumes some sort of inspiration - often out of the blue - a confluence of skill, ability, imagination and flare.

Unless of course they can now code for imagination and flare..

There's a lot of hubris in AI research at the moment on account of a breakthrough that might make it better at doing a particular task with big data. Basically a powered-up expert system that's been around for decades. Could make it better at randomly creating in the style of a artist whose works are numerous like a Picasso, and even then a human would be required to choose between 'interesting' and banal cos the AI wouldn't know.

Like randomly creating posts like yours? But then you'd be a redundant system, Crump.

Everything is random. Some don't know this yet.

No. God plans it all, down to the last belch and fart. Not a sparrow falls.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
