This is amazing and brought up two things for me. First my love of art and the ability to immediately compare and contrast these artists while looking at a familiar and beloved landscape. So interesting. Followed quickly by a concern for AI as I read just now on Notes about the 183,000 books that are being fed into the machine to train AI and how the actual authors feel about that. It makes me think about what these artists would feel seeing their artistic styles displayed this way. We will never know and it's likely half would think it's awesome and the rest would be horrified.

It's always interesting to catch myself feeling both things at exactly the same time!

There are many lawsuits going on now about the state of copyrights. I'm with you - and see both sides.

Hi, I've been to Kewlona. What a lovely area. Did it survive the wildfires? I would pick the Rembrandt or Vermeer versions.

Thanks for the comment. I like the abstract of Pollack. Here's my update on the fires **UPDATE, August 26/23: The fires are held and being knocked back as we speak. Favorable weather has helped, and the City of Kelowna is all under control, with evacuees being sent back home!

This is a keeper for sure! I like Dali, usually, but I think I'll go with Pollack this time.

For me Roy Lichtenstein's and Andy Warhol's versions look best

Pretty cool, Paul. Just last week I attended the Van Gogh Immersive Experience here in Atlanta ... basically a 360-high def walkthrough of his life's work. It was dazzling. And this piece of art (I'm assuming an AI interpretation) is pretty accurate, with the emphasis on purple and gold.

We experienced the Van Gogh Experience in Vancouver last year. It was awesome!

I like the Pollock and the Vermeer. I think this AI stuff is bad. I know I talked about it before but there are so many distressing things with it.
