Thank you for your comment — and for this wonderful representation of AI artist as “traveler-photographer”. This is exactly what I am feeling by moving across AI-created realms, looking for oddities, or just elements touching my heart. Then indeed, AI has neither emotions nor aesthetical power of choice, nor it even comprehend the media it creates. It’s up to us, humans, to evaluate these non-human creativity, which is not comparable to human creativity — non-comparable not in a way of subjective evaluation.

We and machines are having different way of thinking — and thus we augment each others.

Indeed, the contemporary AI models have still some visual flaws with blurry images and low definition — but it surely will come soon. Nevertheless, the blurriness allows us humans even more to re-imagine the AI-created works we’re contemplating, to “inpaint” the missing parts, to reinterpret it with our brains and hearts. And this kind of perception was probably never been possible before. We are living at the Edge of new culture. And we are making it possible for the new culture to emerge.
