The mere fact of an artefact generated in the vast space of creative possibilities, will cease to be interesting. In order for art to reach its fruition, it must engage the artist in the full creative process. It needs to arrest the attention of the artist, from start to the end.
The primary bottleneck in art driven by machine learning methods of today, is that we have absolutely no means to keep track of the human attention, or how to boost it into a specific direction.
Therefore, the artistic process remains unsatisfying. But it need not be the case.
