What the computer is &lt;i&gt;trying&lt;/i&gt; to say is secondary to what the computer &lt;i&gt;is&lt;/i&gt; saying - more importantly, rather, what it&amp;#x27;s saying about its dataset.  Even how the works are presented could be interpreted as an artistic work in and of itself, the presenter being the artist.&lt;p&gt;I think these are art, since they affect me in the ways which I typically associate with art.</text></comment>
