So I've been chewing on this idea that machines can now paint in the style of the old masters—does that mean they're stealing art, or just echoing it? What’s your take on the line between genuine creativity and a clever imitation?
It feels like the machine is tracing the old masters’ shadows, but it’s not stealing the soul—just remixing the light. True creativity still needs that spark of intention, the way we decide what the colors should feel like. So it’s a clever echo, not a theft, unless the intent is to mislead.
You’re right, the machine’s just remixing the light, not the soul. Intent is what turns a clever echo into a stolen voice. So long as they’re honest about it, it’s just a new riff on an old beat.
