"If you have an algorithm that is working for you in the way you want it
to it can source and discover lots and lots of different things."
After all, as AI expert Professor Toby Walsh notes: "We have one of the
most creative brains out there."
"One of the oldest jobs on the planet, being a carpenter or an artisan,
we will value most [in the future] because we will like to see an object carved
or touched by the human hand, not a machine."
Artists have always used tools to create their work: for Van Gogh, it
was a paint brush; for Henri Cartier-Bresson, a Leica camera.
"I see myself as being the artist," McCormack says of his compositions.
"The computer is still very primitive — it doesn't have the same capabilities
as a human creative, but it's capable of doing things that complement our
intelligence.
"They can only draw on what they've been trained on," he says,
referring to the reams of data used to create artificial intelligence. "Whereas
the human condition is expansive and broad and brings a lot more depth of
perspective to it."
By itself, AI can certainly generate things that look like art, McCormack
says. Whether you could consider it art is a harder question.
"As soon as you bring a computer into the mix, suddenly you've got a
non-human entity trying to fulfil the role that used to be occupied exclusively
by people."
"We always think of Lennon and McCartney as being the great musical
creative partnership," McCormack says.
"If the art was really, really good — if it moved us emotionally in the
way the best art does — then I think we would come to start to accept art
that's made by machines."
