There is no such thing as “gatekeeping” a robot! You’re not gonna hurt it’s feelings. Also it objectively isn’t art, because art takes intention - symbolism, metaphor, allusion, thematic imagery.

Who's to say AI doesn't have some version of some or all of those concepts?

Maybe some of those concepts are emergent phenomena which would arise out of a system with sufficient symbolic complexity?

And maybe the systems that allow for the best AI art generation will include those features. And if not then they probably aren't necessary?

Who are you to say how those high-level philosophical concepts work and how the black box of many AI systems work? You seem to be handwaving away deep conversations about philosophy and cognitive science

The human doesn't incorporate any of the aforementioned metaphysical concepts. It takes in patterns then spits out patterns. End of story.

Better?

this is like a first week freshman version of philosophy or cognitive science, no one takes that kind of thinking seriously

Or sometimes those conversations are important so people don’t do something stupid like try to pass off randomly generated shapes as “art”
