Ted Chiang argues that art cannot be created by AI as it involves making numerous choices, which is beyond current AI capabilities. He illustrates this through Roald Dahl's fiction-writing machine story and compares generative language models to auto-complete, lacking the intention to communicate. AI-generated text and art, he suggests, lack the nuanced decision-making inherent in human creations. He concludes that meaningful communication, whether in art or language, is derived from human intention and interaction.
