Machines already perform a lot of tasks that were usually done by humans, such as building cars,
doing complex calculations, and even marking exam papers. But now it seems that ever more intelligent
machines are straying into areas where we never envisaged they would go. We have always taken pride in
having a unique kind of intelligence that machines could never match, one which allows us to think of
new ideas and produce creative and artistic works. But it seems that even here, computers are lining up to
compete with us.
Machines can easily be trained to do the physical work of producing art. About ten years ago, a
