Machine Creativity Beats Some Modern Art

If machines can outperform humans at playing games and driving cars, can they also produce better art? A new kind of Turing test aims to find out. Creativity is one of the great challenges for machine intelligence. There is no shortage of evidence showing how machines can match and even outperform humans in vast areas of endeavor, such as face and object recognition, doodling, image synthesis, language translation, a vast variety of games such as chess and Go, and so on. But when it comes to creativity, the machines lag well behind.
