By and large, the artwork generated herein totally speaks to me.

This is almost beyond the uncanny valley for me.



I don't get all the hate here either. Some of these are very pretty.


Funnily I get nothing from these. I can't see any tension in the compositions. They're aimless. I guess it's what I'd expect from mixing attributes from other paintings.

What did the painter want to do here? I don't know, I can't detect a painter to begin with.


For me it's about 1/3 hit 2/3 miss, and those that hit I usually want to tweak the composition or alter it somehow. Rarely am I completely satisfied with output from it, but that does happen.

I would take many of them and scale them up to a resolution that would work for LARGE prints, with a tool that does its own upscaling/stylish embellishing (like Dynamic Auto Painter), then work them up further in digital.

I think it's a fantastic tool for brainstorming ideas.

Anyone know the license terms for images generated by this web site?


(it seems I can't edit this comment. Per a reply in another thread: public domain.)


Actually—my mind just took a trippy turn on this—

At an abstract level, this stuff is still derived from works done by humans.

I can't process this (at the meta level), ha ha.

Basically, the universal question, but where does art begin, and where does it end. This is in essence, taking something already abstract (I'm assuming) created at the hands of expressionists, and turning it back into something—random—

AGGGGGHHHH I can't process it!!!! ha ha
