Lots of people are using Photoshop's new AI generation to expand classic paintings like the Mona Lisa, but the true test is to crop it smaller, then expand it to areas where we already know what it looks like to see how accurately it re-generates it. Here's my test. Nailed it!
Here's another test with Grant Wood's "American Gothic." Slightly better on one of these...
Venus
Michaelangelo's "The Creation of Adam"
Frida Kahlo
David. Tried to do just the hip/crotch area, but Photoshop gave me a content warning...
Van Gogh
Let's see if it can fix the ruined Jesus fresco...
That's a "no."
Let's see if it can "fix" Mr. Bean's alteration to Whistler's Mother...
Also no...
Rene Magritte... actually plausible?
Pikachu and Ash

YouTube will likely never be over. Thread: 1/8
