Peanuts de Schulz transformado por GAN (generative adversarial network). Saudemos a organologia, mas uma que coloque o artificial em seu devido lugar (que não é o da criatividade). Yuk Hui: Life is fundamentally artificial. This artificiality must be thought in terms of organology, in which creativity is released from the rigidity imposed by the intelligence. Such liberation is possible only through a doing-undoing process, since there is no undoing if there is no doing, and there is no doing where life is not already presupposed. Like intelligence, a machine-learning algorithm may allow us to turn an ordinary photograph into one that resembles the style of a Klee or a Van Gogh, but it is nothing creative in the sense that what it does is a geometrical mapping of pixels. We have to admit that it is a useful function that can  be integrated organologically, but it is not one that could replace creativity (Recursivity and Contingency).
