Creative computers

Ever since the earliest people painted on cave walls, we have used art to explore our experiences and what it means to be human. But what if a work of art wasn’t created by a human?

从人类开始在岩壁上作画以来，我们就用艺术来探索我们的经历，以及它对人类的意义。但如果这件艺术品不是由人类创造的呢?

In 1973, British-born painter Harold Cohen wrote a computer program called AARON. At first, AARON only made simple outlines whose color and details Cohen would later add. Fifty years later, AARON is able to paint people, landscapes and just about anything else a human could paint.

1973年，英国的画家Harold Cohen编写了一个名为AARON的计算机程序。最初， AARON只可以画一些简单的线条，由Cohen帮它补充颜色和细节。50年后，AARON可以画人物、风景，它可以画人类能画的任何东西！

So can AARON be called an artist or creative? “[AARON] can generate (生成) unlimited numbers of images.” So according to Cohen, the simple answer is yes, AARON is creative.

那么AARON能被称为是艺术家或有创造力的“人”吗?“AARON可以生成无限数量的图像。”所以，根据Cohen的说法—— AARON是有创造力的！

Whether or not you believe that art created by robots is just as creative as art created by humans, there’s no doubt that robotic art assistants (助手) could have a very positive impact on artists. For one, they could cut down the amount of time an artist needs to do basic parts of art creation.

无论你相不相信，机器人可以和人类一样富有创造力。毫无疑问,艺术助手机器人可以很好地帮助艺术家。首先，它们可以在美术工作者创作时帮助他们减少那些基本、重复工作的时间。
