Can this machine, beautiful art though it may make, look at the work of the cubists and spontaneously generate Gehry?

Without Mondrian, would it find beauty in clean abstract lines and sharp angles? Can it, by itself, come up with the concept of neoplasticism and implement that, in any way, to create a new beautiful artwork?

Would the AI, not for Klimt, have an appreciation for how casually erotic the female form can be?

Does it, yet, have this appreciation?

I don't know, and I'm sure it doesn't either.

Even more pertinently, it doesn't care.


I might stretch it further that it can’t even care because the machine does not have the capability to care.


I think to the average human, that was implicit in my comment, but for the benefit of the machines, it's good to spell it out.
