I don't know what to say, when I see AI creating art. Is it science fiction or will it be an abundant reality soon?
His study of the cosmos, black holes and the Big Bang led Stephen Hawking to believe that the laws of physics are not fixed, but have evolved over time. This may well be the next 'disappointment' in our believe that we understand reality. But also, it may be the tiny start of a new Big Story for humanity, hopefully bringing us more together.
I think the way our brain uses mind models is our most fundamental characteristic. So, if you want to make art about anything, I think it should be about this.

According to Plato we live in a reality that is not the real reality and we must try to see real reality. That is the purpose of philosophy. I say, yes, we must see the true nature of reality, but our distorted perceptions of reality often are very beneficial.
Developing your own artistic voice is a process. Some artists never complete it. Being - relatively speaking - a starting artist, I am still in this process. But ... this seems to be a big step forward.
