Welp guys, it has been fun being a human but it looks like art is even something robots will be able to do.

Among the competitors, the University of Manitoba team competes with the Picassnake, a custom-made robot draped in a green snake toy. The snake bot paints from music, meaning that it dances to indie rock – improvising brushstrokes into unpredictable abstract paintings.

“They look at how people are painting and try to take direction from them,” he said, as the cloudPainter crowdsources its touchscreen brushstrokes online through a website.

“Sometimes, no one is interested and the robot works alone, other times a couple of people paint along with the robot,” said Van Arman. “And sometimes, it goes viral where hundreds discover it and go crazy.”

The guest brushstrokes are incorporated into the bot’s painting algorithms, which sometimes leads to vandalism.

The software had been designed to duplicate various painting and drawing media, to select the appropriate one, and also to evaluate the results. “This is a miserable failure,” it commented about one effort. A skeptic might doubt whether this and other statements are anything more than skillful digital ventriloquism. But the writing of poetry is mentioned on the website as a current project—so the Painting Fool apparently aspires to be an author as well as a painter.

So they can do things like examine art humans made or as a human makes art and learn their techniques and even critique it.

I mean, that is kinda what humans do too. You intern under a master and they teach you but you also absorb from them. This is very humanlike in a way.

Imagine a robot years from now able to take all the master techniques from master who made videos and being good at all sorts of art with little time taken to learn it.

Well, there goes another niche market that the robotistas are threatening.

No one will take them seriously until they start doing something relevant in the MLP and Furry threads, though.
