Personally believe that art requires intention and some attempt at communication but it's an interesting project.

In this case I suppose the real artwork is the space of all artworks that the machine is sampling from.

Who's to say that the AI doesn't have intent, and makes no attempt at communication? These are certainly very philosophical questions and I would be ready to stand by the idea that first, there is possibly intent and communication here, and second, I've never heard of this narrow definition of art before. Art is art, defining it so narrowly seems strange to me.

I wonder if you have to push the button or if it could auto-cycle at some interval. Powering is always interesting do usually need a dedicated power source like a wall plug less you had some other means to get power. Low energy/battery/harvesting maybe (I saw this runs on a Jetson).

I actually implemented it so that you have to push the button. By adding a dimension where an artwork you like is just a button-push away from being deleted, it actually makes you enjoy it more.

This is just a thought. I don't know if you're aware of Github pages (probably) but regarding docs/hosting a basic UI with tabbed sections to present a chunked form of the README.

I think the generated pixels are not the art. The whole piece is the art, made by the artist, i.e. the OP.
