Qbits for Cubists: Robots Made These Incredible Works of Fine Art
That’s right, sophisticated robots can now create works of art comparable to the old masters.

He doesn’t think that robotic or algorithmic artists will replace creative humans. These algorithms and robotic arms create images but cannot step back and appreciate them.
