The pixels hit the fan.
At the core of the controversy is the question aesthetic philosophers have been mulling over for centuries: What is the fundamental essence of art? Allen says the answer is “transformation."
at his own game over 25 years ago now, there wasn’t an outcry declaring the death of gamesmanship. “Why are we celebrating A.I. on the one hand for kicking our butt in chess,” Allen says, “but we’re not celebrating A.I. for kicking butt in the art world? It’s got to be all about the individual. Very few people could compete with chess masters at the top of their game, but there are so many artists out there. There’s no analogue. Anyone can be an artist, which is the way that it should be.
At that point, it’s a lot like the old joke about how an artist sculpts an elephant: They start with a big piece of granite, and then chip away anything that doesn’t look like an elephant. “It’s crazy,” Allen says. “It’s like the image was already there, and now it’s just revealing itself. Think of the miracle of that.”
