Trading on pretentiousness in cliques has been a thing in art long before the internet and Twitter.

#5Shows nothing about AI, shows a lot about how low the bar has fallen for not taking everything you see on social media at face value.
Enticing an easy and predictable knee jerk reaction from a couple dozen users also hardly proves anything.

#6Being able to imitate Monet doesn't make you Monet. AI can't create anything original.

#7AI art enjoyers and missing the point of art: name a better duo.
No one has ever claimed AI cannot imitate a Monet, but however good the imitation, it still isn't art any more than a Xerox of a painting is art. This is the exact reason why most people feel bad after discovering that what they felt was work of human ingenuity, is just a fake, a simulacrum of it. The creation of art, arguably the most human of instincts, cannot be separated from the emotions and effort that went into it.
All this proves is that most people cannot tell if that picture is a Monet or not.

#8Seems the poster is the one fooled by the AI more than anything, because most likely the bulk of the replies are bots, so you got AI to criticize AI.

#9Two interesting replies:
It’s not a physical painting made by a well known artist.
It’s trying to hard to be a late Monet.
How much of our opinions are driven by context, rather than the actual subject? If Monet’s work is not so great without the context, is it still great? Or is context a critical piece of the art itself? Do we need to view a Monet piece within the scope of other Monet pieces, other artists, time periods, blindness, etc?

#10This is like asking people to rate this plate of bugs while serving them chicken. Even if tastes great, of course some people who will have a visceral reaction against it.
