Todor,
I mostly agree with what you said early on in your blog, “I always ask: so what exactly is hard about which art? I don't see anything hard in any art, all is obvious.” Being a "lapsed" artist and having worked in the media arts in various capacities and following these over the years as computer technology progressed, going from traditional media to computer based media, I actually see the creation capacity of computers dwarf the production capability of people. And many artists intuitively know this but typically won’t admit. If you look at all the different artistic creation softwares most are used to assist in artistic creation, their variety is overwhelming especially when the assistance capability increases as the software sophistication increases. Less and less is left to the creator of the art. I personally would like to spend time focused on building automated/autonomous artistic creation. There are softwares that do this already ones that auto-generate visual and audio creations, textual and other. My goal would be to work on some of the mathematics of artistic creation and implement those ideas in software…someday… Working on something like this can be an exercise similar to working on AGI technology itself but easier. IMO an advantage of exploring the use of artistic communication with computers is that it expands the symbol space expression of communication complexity using dynamic and open ended communications protocol to stimulate and capture cognitive activity. Much of this can be automated not requiring AGI, but, there are many facets of art that would require AGI and AGI technology would allow for a vastly improved artistic creation within the non-AGI model of creation. Surly there are some forms of art that you can image that would require AGI?
