Any markov chain generator working on a large enough input can simulate such gibberish. I linked to static output from one I made (in another thread).


I agree with everything here except the suggestion of trying to find meaning in International Art English, which is abstruse, opaque, hifalutin, and divides The Anointed Ones of Art from the (they would say--but they wouldn't say) unwashed masses _by design_.

International Art English is, from a virtue ethics standpoint, a pure waste of time and pure crap.


It is hard for me to believe that there is an absolute imperative connection between writing International Art English and being paid.

I coded a verbal recombobulator that generates such statements to mock such statements. Please point your friends to it if they're ever stuck.

A program I mentioned in another thread, Dynamic Auto-Painter, can do that--but it will stylize the work according to some other preset.


It is arguably already "real" art. Art does not have to be physical to be "real," it can be virtual; art does not have to be made by humans to be "real;" art made by an AI is real, etc.


For me it's about 1/3 hit 2/3 miss, and those that hit I usually want to tweak the composition or alter it somehow. Rarely am I completely satisfied with output from it, but that does happen.

I would take many of them and scale them up to a resolution that would work for LARGE prints, with a tool that does its own upscaling/stylish embellishing (like Dynamic Auto Painter), then work them up further in digital.

I think it's a fantastic tool for brainstorming ideas.

Anyone know the license terms for images generated by this web site?
