> On the other hand, art is mostly created by artists who were professionally trained as artists, i.e. not as scientists. Knowledge about computer technology is typically rather limited with both artists and collectors, leading to fairly bland stuff, or properly misguided hypes such as NFTs.

Having reread this section, and considered it, I’m going to hard disagree. You are severely underrating the technical capabilities of artists. Historical and contemporary.



Note the "mostly" and "typically". There are some amazing artists who really know what they're doing.

The chances of an artist having a PhD in machine learning and a masters at Goldsmiths are statistically speaking very low.
