We Asked A.I. to Create the Joker. It Generated a Copyrighted Image.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Creativity can be estimated by AI with randomness, but what they don't have is taste to determine which of their random ideas are any good.
I dunno man ... assume a model trained on the complete corpus of arts leading up to the Renaissance. What kind of randomness lands you at Hieronymus Bosch? Would AI be able to come up with Gonzo Journalism or modal music?
A brief glance at the history of human ingenuity in the arts really puts generative AI in perspective.
I see what you're saying, but Bosch may not be the best example because frankly his paintings often look like the early AI fever dreams lol (I mean, not really, but you can see the resemblance). But seriously, with enough randomness you certainly could get that kind of output - there's really no reason why not - but it would take god knows how many iterations and the computer doesn't have everything other than the art to determine what is good.
It's monkeys and typewriters, yknow. You'll get there eventually even just producing random pixels (I mean, admittedly one limit will always be resolution unless you actually teach the AI to operate an arm which paints).
