How would the robot even know to paint it or what painting is. How could it even understand what it is seeing without The information required to identify what its sensors are taking in? We are taught to understand what our sensors take in, I would think a robot would have to be too.

> Paul Graham (also a painter!) notes that this is about to change. Robots wired into the world will soon perceive it for themselves. A robot or AI that learns from its own sensors isn’t borrowing images from others.

Bet: nobody will buy art created by bots. Decor sure (it is already getting massed produced in factories), but not art.

I dunno about "nobody". I think of tulips, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Eiffel Tower, and Google Play gift cards to pay back Microsoft (after accidentally inputting too many zeroes in their banking software on their secure server).
