By creating a painting from scratch, the work of art entitled Portrait of Belamy, which is now so successful that it is being auctioned off, artificial intelligence has taken a new step in conquering the senses and works close to those carried out by humans. [...]
It is through this technological revolution that we can witness such prowess as the creation of a painting, close to or even similar to what a human being could do. However, this raises issues: if a computer is capable of creating, what about the human being?
[...] The work Portait de Bellamy proves it: individuals have as much interest in a work created by a machine as if it had been the fruit of a human being. We can therefore wonder whether this does not lead to a complete redefinition of our position in the face of creation, subjectivity and creativity. Indeed, are we witnessing a disinterest in creation by ourselves in favour of machines or a complementary link between humans and machine? This complementary link cannot fully respond to our reflection: it is indeed a question here of studying humans' creativity and not the latter's relationship with the machine. [...]
[...] Therefore, and in these conditions, creativity remains humans' domain. Indeed, creation is not a matter of technique, result or interpretation: it is the result of a humans' view on a specific subject. It is also to this extent that abstract art, for example, is used. Thus, if we cannot disregard the important progress made by artificial intelligences, they are not part of a true artistic approach. Therefore, creativity as an art remains humans because it is not a technical consideration. [...]
[...] Portrait of Edmond de Belamy - GAN (2018) - How Tech is redefining our creativity? How Tech is redefining our creativity? The use of open source tools and data to create art with machine learning. By creating a painting from scratch, the work of art entitled Portrait of Belamy, which is now so successful that it is being auctioned off, artificial intelligence has taken a new step in conquering the senses and works close to those carried out by humans.

[...] Indeed, the robot makes it possible to assist humans in his creative work. From then on, through the use of powerful new technologies such as big data or machine learning: we notice a disruption: humans no longer create, he delegates. However, this delegation can be all the more spontaneous as these technologies suggest a work of creation and learning of the machine itself: humans are only a spectator. Indeed, if humans correct the machine, can guide it, he is no longer the true creator. [...]
