So a mackerel then, is what you’re saying?

A toffee-nosed art expert would feign knowing of an artist known as Makerel and excuse himself.
BTW: This is art… or not to some. It is considered very important though because of its place in art history.

I believe you are thinking of Macquerel, one of the finest Rococo painters. His serving girl was sublime.

Bit of a stinker in his personal life, though. When the police questioned him about a local robbery, they had to grill him outside. Turns out he really was the thief, but he slipped right through their dragnet.

No. The toffee-nose art critic was thinking of a “Makerel”.
Was it, really?

It looks like the AI is fixated on microbes.

Having seen the green one above and then the same artwork twice in a row I’m calling shenanigans.
ETA: Seems the “I did an AI” is, perhaps, less than honest. You get the same picture if you refresh twice in a short time-period, possibly a second. Which very strongly suggests mere randomness using the time as a seed. As I’ve said before, most of the applications of AI are like using a marching band to change a lightbulb. Admirable in execution, but really, why?
My stepmother has an artist’s studio in a block of them. This generated art is quite like a lot of the art produced there, although not hers. I guess there’s nothing to stop me from copying one in oils and flogging it. If they are generated one-offs, how could they prove provenance?

If I wanted to be the first and only person to see a work of art I’d just keep making my own art.

Well call me a contrarian, but I refreshed the page about a hundred times and saw some really gorgeous pieces. I wish they were higher resolution!

This many comments and not a single 1984 reference? Proles.

I think you’ve got them by the short (and curly) circuits.
It’s a brave new world.
