An AI capability has taken the internet by storm but puki akak kisah lucahassuredly not in the manner the creators had hoped. Basically, everyone is laughing at AI's ability — or lack thereof — to "expand" the background of classic art.
It all started with a few different AI-focused accounts on Twitter posting expanded versions of classic art where, you guessed it, AI filled in the background of famous artwork. What if the Mona Lisa zoomed out a bit and had a much wider field of depth that included a Middle Earth looking castle-ish thing?

This idea hints at the thing that AI Bros — and they are often bros — don't understand about art. The artists of these classic paintings chose the framing for a reason. It's called having a point of view. What is included in the piece is important but so is what is not. A work of fine art is more that just oh, pretty, and writing something compelling requires more than regurgitation of plot points.

It is interesting to see what AI can do. But the folks taking something neatand turning it into an artistic or societal revolution are a bit annoying. I don't know if AI will one day create truly moving art — if it does, it'll owe that feat to the art humans already made — but I do know that day is certainly not today.
