What if Salvator Dali, René Magritte, Thomas Cole, J.W.M. Turner, Maurice Duchamp, Pablo Picasso, and Henri Rousseau were commissioned to paint 9/11/2001, the decline of Western civilisation, Manhattan 7000 years from now or the destruction of the Prague Castle? Thanks to artificial intelligence (or DALL-E, to be specific) we can guess what their works might look like.
​
Is it art or not? It depends on your definition of art. In any case, progress of artificial intelligence is undeniable. It is one of the most compelling things happening these days. What used to be science fiction is now for real — and it's just the beginning.
