Two years old now, and as the cryptographers say, attacks only get better.

Those are either copies or bad. I think the difference in quality and originality is huge, even if they can create plausible looking images in already invented styles.

And yet, they're good enough to fool most people, which is what you're trying for if you're aiming to automate the production of art. The fact that we got there more than 2 years ago, before agentic coding was even barely useful, should give you an idea of where things are going.

What did you score on the quiz? Note that a good number of the options are done by well known and widely revered artists.
