Art Experts Dissect Why an AI 'Monet' Falls Short of the Real Thing

Description

A dense collage of dozens of small social media reply screenshots responding to a prompt that reads roughly: 'I just generated an image in the style of a Monet painting using AI. Please describe, in as much detail as possible, what makes this inferior to a real Monet painting.' A small AI-generated water-lily-pond image in Monet's style appears at top left. The replies, from many users, offer detailed critiques: brushstrokes that are 'mushy' and lack intentionality, no coherent direction of light, uniform texture without the layered impasto of real oil, water lilies that don't sit convincingly on the water plane, 'no cohesion of elements', edges that are AI-smudged rather than confidently placed, and observations that Monet painted from sustained observation while the model interpolates statistical averages. The piece functions as a meme about AI image generation's uncanny near-miss quality and the crowd's ability to articulate exactly why it feels hollow

    The painting passed the Turing test; the critics failed the unit test.

    lemme guess, this is a real monet painting?

  4. @SemakMillev 3mo

    "Interstate 60" -moment

  5. @summitbc 3mo

    Grok is this real

  6. @Nucradkillsrats 3mo

    The fact that you all also questioning is a sign we are rational, but not knowing real monet shows me how much we strained from experiencing beauty outside the digital world

    1. @M4lenov 3mo

      I don't think most people knew much paintings before digitalization of the human experience either

      1. @Nucradkillsrats 3mo

        What about copies? Amateurs imitating

        1. @M4lenov 3mo

          What about them? I don't get your point

          1. @Nucradkillsrats 3mo

            There used to be amateur auteurs that would replicate great arts and in great quantities to either practice or try to scam collectors So they would spread the knowledge of the great art around

            1. @M4lenov 3mo

              But did people outside of said collectors and art nerds spend any time seeing all that? I imagine my parents didn't

              1. @Nucradkillsrats 3mo

                If they went to any kind of art community they would have

                1. @M4lenov 3mo

                  Well yeah but now you also can visit a museum AND look up any art online

                  1. @Nucradkillsrats 3mo

                    yeah, but original point was that before people had access to art as well, even the great one

  7. @deimossos 3mo

    If it's an automated account, doesn't it mean that a bot is ragebeaiting people with a real painting? Not the other way around

  8. @mangodzilla 3mo

    Finally we can all come to the conclusion that real monet is actually hyped up shit

  9. @NanoSector 3mo

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Batch_Mattes_20130310_NP_(13).JPG seems to be real, it's in Munich - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_Lilies_(Monet_series) there's definitely prettier paintings in that list though

  10. Егор 3mo

    and all these are probably just AI bots farming engagement and conversation history to look legit when they will be used for propaganda

  11. Егор 3mo

    internet is dead

    1. @deerspangle 3mo

      Especially twitter dot com. May as well throw a shrimp jesus into Facebook

  12. @b7sum 3mo

    xitter moment

  13. @karim_mahyari 3mo

    Is Monet a new Claude model?

  14. @pooyabehravesh 3mo

    No, that is not actually a Monet painting. It is a really close copy of the "Water Lilies" Painting from Claude Monet.

    1. Егор 3mo

      Did you even google.

    2. Егор 3mo

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Batch_Mattes_20130310_NP_(13).JPG

      1. @pooyabehravesh 3mo

        Well, no.The painting I saw looked familiar to me, so I Googled the name of the painting I mentioned, and when I compared them, I saw they’re not the same. Thanks i didn't know about that one you sent.
