An artist just put a mirror to a lot of society's knee-jerk critiques of AI, using Claude (Monet). SHL0MS, known for his viral experiments, posted an image of a real Monet water lilies painting on X and told people it was AI-generated. Hundreds of replies poured in explaining exactly why it was 'slop'. "No cohesion of elements." "Doesn't look anywhere near like a Monet. Looks like somebody trying to replicate the style and achieving 20% of it." "High school level art 101 work." Every flaw described was a one invented the moment they saw the word AI.
