[eu-gene] Re: Generative or not?

[Michael Gogins]

Of course a computer cannot act. Only conscious agents such as human beings act. Computers don't _do_ anything on their own, they carry out instructions from people. In the sense of "these brushes painted this picture" a computer can generate an image. In the sense of "these brushes can't move by themselves" a computer can't generate an image.

Regards,
Mike

    Can a computer generated image not be computer generated? Sounds like a language game. :-)
