The current level of artificial intelligence technology may have surpassed most people's imagination. Arthur Miller believes that artificial intelligence is surpassing algorithms and programming, producing something that is not in the rules of the game.

Physicist Arthur Miller is convinced. In his new book, The Artist in the Machine, published in October, Arthur systematically illustrates his point.

He believes that the artistic creation robot under artificial intelligence technology not only has perception and creativity, but also can express his creativity and ideas in the creative process. "AI artists have surpassed ordinary people's artistic ability, so that they must explain their work to our empty primitive brains." Arthur did not hide his optimistic attitude towards the current AI robot artistic creation ability.

In the book The Artist in the Machine, Arthur introduces readers to a famous case in AI music creation. Fran? OisPachet is a music creator and a scientist in the field of AI music creation. He now works at a research institute under Spotify. He designed a musical artificial intelligence device called Continuator. According to Pachet, this musical artificial device can talk to musicians through improvisation.

Pachet invited a pianist to sit next to the device and start playing. Continuator will learn and understand itself after hearing the pianist's phrases, and then it will improvise according to the previous track. The pianist was surprised and excited to hear Continuator's response, and continued to play more music, and Continuator would continue to communicate with him through notes.

This case made the technology media Futurism question, "When people talk about music improvisation, there will be randomness and surprise in the phrase, but there is also an order behind it. Does the computer know when to follow the rules?" Arthur In response, "Human creativity also comes from the search for patterns."

The use of robots for artistic creation is not new. As early as 1956, French artist Nicolas Schoffer created the robot "CYSP 1" that can be used for painting. Later, other avant-garde artists used robots for creative experiments.

Time passed to 2018, a high-priced US $ 350,000 (approximately 3 million yuan commission with commission) sold by Christie's New York, an art work independently completed by artificial intelligence, Edmond de Belamy. The news shocked the art world, with some media commenting that it represents the creativity of artificial intelligence is being recognized.

According to Futurism, the number of startups currently engaged in AI art creation is growing rapidly. Aiva Technologies is a creative company in the field of AI music. Its CEO, Pierre Barreau, believes that AI can try many different ideas in a short period of time. "It has greater experimental capabilities, and artificial intelligence is already creating and expressing art."

But not everyone is looking forward to artificial intelligence for art creation, and Miguel Carvalhais, a professor from the University of Porto in Portugal, expressed his appreciation for the creative practice in computational art and design. Concerns about AI art creation.

"Artificial intelligence cannot share the experience of human society with readers like real artists." Miguel believes that even if artificial intelligence robots play and express self-awareness in artistic creation, this consciousness cannot communicate with humans.

Whether artificial intelligence has its own creativity and imagination is still a debate. But Arthur Miller may have been on the side of support, "I believe artificial intelligence is surpassing algorithms and programming, producing something that is not in the rules of the game now."
