Very cool! Wonder how the copyright works on this sorta stuff. Since you fed your AI with actual images of other people art... but a art student would study other people’s art too. So not sure if AI would be seen as a copy or a derivative work. Seems like if you were designing a game and needed random art to fill frames on a wall could be cool to use these. But I feel like the legal part of doing that might be a little murky and unclear and probably even varies by country since still a very new technology.

There is definitely a recognizable style of NN-generated art. It looks "piecewise-consistent". After a few years of seeing these I find them really boring and unpleasant to look at.

Many would say the same of the artists the NN’s mimic. Perhaps they’re doing better than you give them credit ;)

I got this one, which doesn't look abstract: https://1secondpainting.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/8.png

Compare with this https://1secondpainting.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/5999.... :)

I did get this as well! I thought it was some sort of version of Malevich:)

Judging by the URL of the images themselves these seem to be pre-generated, which makes me think there might have been some human selection process to filter out the badly generated ones. Still some really cool looking art in there, though. I'd be perfectly happy hanging some of these up in my apartment.

The first ten images are... interesting.

A real life easter egg!

The language on the landing page suggests that every time you click Try Now a new image is generated.

Really though there is a gallery of around 10,000 pngs on a Wordpress site.

Fake it 'til you make it!
