Copycat

The first AI generated portrait was sold at Christie´s for a record amount. In fact this piece of art was created by a consortium of three men who ´fed´ the system with 15,000 paintings. The AI generator created a new image based on these paintings. Artists often learn by copying old masters. But this attempt is mastered by three men. So, is it art? Or is it a first attempt of an 'emerging artist' to create something renewing?
