Maurice Conti's TED talk on how AI and generative design are changing the way things are designed and made. He shows examples of computers inventing forms for engineered parts and structures.

HN people cite it as an early example of engineers using machine learning in design, and compare later news to it.

Yup, that's why the naysayers will always naysay. Artists will use ML as engineers have been using ML such as in ▶ this video I can understand the clash with artists not wanting their work absorbed by the machine, and I agree to a point: if the model reproduces their art 1:1 (or close to) then that's bad! For the artist and the model! If it simply takes inspiration for the type of art/style etc from other artists' work, well, that's what artists do themselves already! That's literally how people learn to be artists. But also, for an artist to complain that it's not really artistic, then where do we draw the line? They'll use a brush in photoshop that they don't have total control over the behaviour of and that's apparently fine.
