jesus fucking christ

where’s the option for “i know art and history and i can recognise actual paintings you fucking dummy”

his little test would fail even harder if we were doing direct comparisons, like hey which one’s a real painting (ignore the hand)

i don’t know man, probably the one that doesn’t look like an anachronistic hodgepodge??? what the fuck even is that

where the fuck is his left foot

also, did Scott fuck up and not notice this one is plagiarism? not just of the original painting, but however many art class portraiture recreations of the painting the model trained on

most likely including a particularly awful one I was behind the camera for! but because it’s art class and not assholes doing plagiarism, the point of the exercise isn’t that it’s original or even good (and under no circumstances are you pretending you came up with an original work) — it’s to explore the elements that made the original good. I remember we put a lot of effort into getting the light and shadow around the left shoulder and head just right, which are elements the generative knockoff just entirely fucks up because of course it does (also what the fuck is on his forehead?)

yeah he didn’t include the picture of a woman and child because you couldn’t see the kid’s thumb but this one is fine? he is so fucking weird. i can’t tell how much of it is sheer stupidity and how much is pure spite because he really does seem to resent art and artists.
