Poetry, metaphor, humor, aesthetics, the metaphysical, the creation and appreciation of true beauty, these are things it will be very hard for a computer or artificial intelligence ever to truly comprehend. I stole a couple quotes from classic poetry just to see what would happen, the results are gorgeous, but especially in the case of the second picture, the computer really didn't get what was going on. I used Leonardo.ai to produce the following unedited pics:
The first is from Keat's "Ode to a Nightingale:" "magic casements, opening on the foam Of perilous seas, in faery lands forlorn"
The second is from Noyes' "The Highwayman:" "The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees. The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas. The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor..."
Certainly gorgeous, but both have their faults, particularly the purple galleon! The crazy thing is these images depend on millions of individual human contributions to culture and art and it takes a human to appreciate them and humans to edit them and give them meaning. We were created to be creators, yes we can create things that can help us create, but without a driving human influence behind a given production it means nothing, it is nothing. Only the Creator can call something out of nothing, only one created in His image can give meaning to nonsense.
