The Artificial Intelligence that Composes Like the Beatles and Writes Like J. K. Rowling - OpenMind

Two robotic arms that each hold a pen begin to draw with short strokes on two sheets of paper-- two eyes, a mouth and the silhouette of a face. They portray the front and profile view of Eliseo Carrera Bustillo, a 26-year-old student sitting on a stool while two cameras observe and analyse him closely. Both machines imitate the style of their creator--the French artist Patrick Tresset--and it only takes half an hour to finish the portrait and sign it. Nowadays, more and more artificial intelligence systems paint pictures, compose music, create poetry and write novels. But what difference is there between a work created by a machine and by a human?
