Get access to all learning content and every RTF Academy course with RTF Academy Pro
Machines now make art.
The question is what it means.
Dive into the liveliest debate in design, weigh the machine's genuine creative powers against yours, and leave with a view worth defending.
Creativity stays the part of you machines can’t copy.
- Judge the machine's art — assess honestly what machine-made creativity genuinely amounts to.
- Locate human magic — pinpoint the qualities that keep human imagination stubbornly, wonderfully unique.
- Argue both sides — understand the strongest cases for man and machine alike.
- Test your assumptions — challenge your most comfortable beliefs about originality, authorship, and taste.
- Predict the verdict — form a grounded view of where creativity is heading.
- Defend your position — debate the topic with confidence at any dinner table.
