How does this image make you feel? The first AI generated painting to be sold at a fine art...

Is that how they see us?

I don’t like the placement within the frame, the shape of the background, or the consistent blurriness. It seems too deliberately imperfect.

And the back part of the collar is just weird.

Like I have bad eyesight 😑

It's unsettling that it sold, unsettling at a fine art auction. Unsettling people are gullible enough to class it as art. It belongs between the pile of sinks and the turd sculpture!

Why would a computer need to paint a portrait when a photo is better?

Unless they want to make it up or create a mood.

Looks like my kind of effort to be honest.
🤔Maybe i should paint.!🤣

It feels like two images superimposed on each other and giving an effect of what a nightmare could be like.. like a darkness looming of sorts.
That was my first impression.

I don't see how anything composed by a machine could be art, per se, because it will always lack any kind of social context. Art is inherently social.

It is unsettling. Kind of souless.

I like the colours but I prefer to be able to see the pic more clearly. Also I would love to be able to speak with that AI and ask it to explain why it painted the face so blurry. I would be really interested in it's opinion if it is able to give it.

Unsettled, depressed, and a little dizzy... Although that's not out-of-the-ordinary hahah. The man looks tense, nervous. Like he is expecting something bad will happen. Or, no... He's definitely seen some rough shit... Ghostly.
