My internet sleuthing skills are not slick enough to find and verify this, but as a teenager I recall seeing an Andy Warhol piece in a museum that was two canvasses side by side. One had a composition and the other was just a solid color, and there was something about how he’d only added the 2nd solid color painting because it would double the value of them as a set. Anyway all this reminds me of that!!

I'm glad you were so eloquent about why this trend is so dumb. I don't see how making the Mona Lisa's main figure really small in the center of a giant background is making the art any "better."

“The Twitter thread understands the Mona Lisa not as a work of art with intention behind it, but as something more akin to petroleum or gold.” So well put!

Maybe not even creative.

I don’t consider what is being done with AI to be art. AI is creative, maybe, but not artistic.
