It's so wierd to see artistic expression reduced to an engineering problem.

Yeah, you can generate images and sounds, but claiming that's art is like claiming a thousand monkeys could write the works of Shakespeare. Yes, its possible, but what enables it is randomness. Not creativity.

And in that process, you created a lot more of something else, aside from the works of Shakespeare.
