Can they not use the word "masterpiece" on the site? A masterpiece is supposed to be superlative.

You can't call every single output a "masterpiece"

Yeah, the internet trend of turning everything into hyperbole squared is obnoxious. These look like blurry insane asylum art projects. I don't think any reasonable person is going to look at this stuff and call it a masterpiece.

As a representational painter, I've been waiting for someone to do a write-up on how/why these 'AI' paintings aren't going to be equivalent to human paintings until 'AI' is itself equivalent to humans.

Unfortunately, I haven't seen one yet. Maybe I'll have to do it myself.

IMO most 'generative art' is about as creative as a markov chain text, just with images as the input instead of words. It'll be a while before anyone can assert any sort of equivalence to human creativity and have it taken seriously
