A tweet by some idiot named Sonch, saying "Using AI, I was able to take some old painting and make it better. First the painting. Notice how you can barely see what's even going on. Where even is this? Who are the people? Huh? You're too far away to really see the setup. Whole left side blank. Nothing here to grab onto." The picture, embedded below the tweet, is the famous Nighthawks at the Diner, a vaguely haunting scene of several people, seen through the window of a diner at night from afar. Someone (Nemo Zatara) replies: ... Nighthawks is one of my favorite paintings.... :( .... its supposed to be empty and distant. Sonch replies, "Huh? Who would want that"

I can't reply there, but you might be interested to see one way in which that shallow, superficial image creation can be weaponized against art.
