Reading Response (111-166)

Page 144 features a piece of art that was actually made a computer programs to make art based on the process an artist goes through in their mind while creating art.  This program, AARON, is deemed to be an artificially intelligent artist that continually creates its "own" art.  Though this is an extremely interesting concept, I don't see this as a step towards real "artificial intelligence" as people define it today, like you'd see in sci-fi movies.  This is because in the end, someone had to have created the initial code, the algorithms, the hardware, everything that goes into a computing device no matter how intricate.  I mention this because the artist is calling it the "artificially intelligent artist", which, while it works for the piece and is fascinating, I wonder how long people will be using this term in art and technology?
