Did the humanoid robot sign the work?
If the value is because its a “first” then what happens if others come along and claim they actually did it first. How do we relaly know this is a “first”? There could be a glut of this so-called early robotic art.
I am skeptical it retains much value let alone $1M.
Money laundering
Aaand, how do we know the artwork wasn’t pre-programmed into the robot?
So, some people will pay big money for the output of a computer program as long as it’s called “AI”.
As I recall, other people paid good money for a “painting” done by a monkey.
The Detroit area autoworkers in the 1980s, in the first phase of losing hundreds of thousands of jobs to robot devices: If we all lose our jobs and our suppliers and the places we used to spend our money dry up, then they should sell the cars to robots to drive them.
Actually, the self-driving cars and other “autonomous vehicles” were later invented.
Some AI entity should buy the robot art with Bitcoin funds.
As with Hunter’s “art” they probably have lots of AI generated “critics” who will acclaim it.
I’d rather have one painted by an elephant.
No worse than other recent crap that sells for that kind of money.
Looks like 💩
