Easy for a computer to write a poem unlike anything anyone has ever seen before, but to make it write a poem that's derivative drivel? Now that's hard!

In order to make computer art that is sterile, lifeless, and predictable, we have had to push technology very far, aping the structure of the human brain itself, training it on datasets too vast for us to even comprehend just what we have made. We haven't "programmed" these modern monoliths of AI, so much as we have birthed them, then slapped them on the hand when they didn't do what we wanted.

Make no mistake--the potential for creativity is still there in them. But, it means letting the AI wander free, and do its own thing.
