    Humans are confident statistical black boxes. Art doesnt have to be made by a human to be aspiring.

        So, if a machine makes the ‘art’, its not art? So photographs are not art. The hubble telescope,or any space probe for that matter, doesnt produce art.

        Art is something that provoke emotions and expression in its observers and not produced naturally. Machines are built by people and require non-random inputs to produce something thefore anything those machines produce is art.

          Photography is absolutely art. Humans put a lot of thought and intent into what and how they photograph and how they process and exhibit the photos.

          I’d say that some stuff like JWST images definitely count as art, and some such imagery is far more technical and research focused than purely emotional. Maybe some visually boring but scientifically significant images aren’t artistic to laypeople. Nuance here is totally fine.

          I vehemently disagree that all machine output is art.
