For many people, art is something very human, as it is creating deep connections and emotions. One of my favorite movie quotes is from "I, Robot":
Detective Del Spooner (Human): Human beings have dreams. Even dogs have dreams, but not you, you are just a machine. An imitation of life. Can a robot write a symphony? Can a robot turn a... canvas into a beautiful masterpiece?
Sonny (Robot): Can you?
We always thought, that no machine could ever create a piece of art that has an impact on us, but as artificial intelligence gets more and more advanced, art does not seem to be something only a real person can create. As a matter of fact, AI is already able to create impressive pieces of art. So, let's dive into the AI age of art with some intriguing artificial creatives.

Finishing the unfinished

But an international team of experts created an AI that analyzed Beethoven's unfinished tenth symphony and finalized it. Listen to the AI's compositions <a href="https://www.telekom.com/en/company/topic-specials/beethoven-year-2020-special/details/beethoven-s-unfinished-587430" rel="noopener noreferrer dofollow" target="_blank">here</a>. Can you spot which part is from Beethoven and which is from the AI?</p>Artificial Song

If you listen to the voices extracted, they do sound quite artificial, but as soon as <a href="https://speechresearch.github.io/deepsinger/" rel="noopener noreferrer dofollow" target="_blank">DeepSinger</a> synthesizes them and puts them into music, one cannot tell that the songs are artificially created – at least I could not.</p>Scary Humane

But in 2019 <a href="https://openai.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer dofollow" target="_blank">OpenAI</a> published a text generating AI which creates <a href="https://nerdist.com/article/ai-text-generator-human/" rel="noopener noreferrer dofollow" target="_blank">terrifyingly human texts</a>. Also, a study by Karlstad University in Sweden shows that <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/17512786.2014.883116" rel="noopener noreferrer dofollow" target="_blank">most people cannot tell whether an article is written by a journalist or a machine</a>. That may make it harder to sort out fake news in the future, and would need online platforms to curate information more closely. <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/11/7/20953040/openai-text-generation-ai-gpt-2-full-model-release-1-5b-parameters" rel="noopener noreferrer dofollow" target="_blank">THE VERGE</a> collected some examples of AI writing – they may not be perfect, but also not too bad.</p>Creating Emotions out of Data

By using large collections of data and artificial intelligence he creates fascinating <a href="https://www.artechouse.com/nyc" rel="noopener noreferrer dofollow" target="_blank">installations</a> where spectators can experience data sculptures created out of millions of pictures from different points of view. When people step into the installation they step into an alternate reality: into the <a href="http://refikanadol.com/works/melting-memories/" rel="noopener noreferrer dofollow" target="_blank">dreams of the AI</a>. And though the machine may not have emotions, it portraits it and by that impacts our emotions.</p>From Your Site Articles
