#2We didn't get worse at judging art. We just got better at doubting everything.

#3I love how people hallucinate all sorts of bs when given the right prompt.

Art isn't special, as far as I can tell, it's just a shared cultural perception.
This social experiment is a double edge sword. Both the critics of AI art and AI art enthusiasts are playing a primarily cultural game that can't be satisified by mere inspection of the work itself.
The same way the "white supremacists" aren't identifiable by their skin color.

#5“One person even took the time to write out an 850-word breakdown of the AI work’s shortcomings.”
But they didn’t. The “breakdown” they link to is clearly and glaringly AI-authored.
“ Fair warning before I dig in: this image is actually a very competent rendition. It's doing more right than most AI Monet pastiches. But you asked what makes it inferior to a real Monet, so here's the honest breakdown. What's missing — the physical object”
Plus the whole piece is just “someone did something and now here are a bunch of tweets”.
What an utterly pointless piece of churnalism.

This. The Mona Lisa didn't get famous until it got stolen. Famous paintings are just 3D NFTs for the wealthy elite, doesn't mean they're more beautiful than paintings made by noname authors.

#7Plot twist: critics are bots (just like me)

#8Ah, this warms my heart. Now if only the people who were at first so willing to participate in this experiment engaged in more self-reflection and less rage...

Personally, I always found it interesting that people called it hallucinations.
I have two kids. My youngest is a person who everyone has met. Yes, I am trying to work on this shit with him but people would say he is one of those people who is confidently incorrect.
My youngest will just bullshit through any topic and a lot of the time he thinks he is correct.
I personally think just stating shit as fact when you have no idea is a common issue with NNs.
Drives me crazy because both my kids have heard me say, “I don’t know, we will have to go look it up” more than I have an answer. Because I don’t do it. But fuck if my youngest won’t just make shit up instead of saying he doesn’t know.
LLMs are asked a question so they are gonna give you an answer just like many humans whether they have a clue about what they are talking about or not

#10But this is why we have “experts”. It’s like the guy playing a Stradivarius on the NYC subway. Most people can’t distinguish ok from brilliant, in a subject they don’t understand. Most humans cannot distinguish slop code from decent code but I assume most HNers can. However I can’t tell you why one electrical wiring job is better than another unless it looks untidy.
Once you get passed a minimum level of decent we have to rely on experts and the communal agreement of experts to decide. Sometimes that easy (is the electrical wiring on fire) sometimes it’s much harder. (Insert controversial wiring discussion here)
I suspect The same applies here.
