This is very cool! Not only was he doing this through programing, but he built a drawing machine! I do agree, all of this AI stuff is very cool, but it's a tool at the end of the day. But it's a very cool nerdy tool. :)
"In a paper published in 1973, “Parallel to Perception: Some Notes on the Problem of Machine-Generated Art,” Cohen elaborated his motivation for testing whether a machine could be capable of “human art-making behavior.” He defined previous technological innovations such as cameras as mere “tools [that] serve generally to extend or delimit various human functions” before setting out his quest to prove the computer’s comparative autonomy, by teaching it to produce non-deterministic outputs that are on each occasion new and unpredictable.
