25 hilarious art tweets that reimagine classical paintings with the power of AI

Critics claim AI lacks human insight and relies on data analysis. Supporters, however, highlight the diverse meanings and purposes of AI art.
We've selected 25 tweets that reimagine classical artworks with a touch of AI assistance.

AI filled out the rest of the wing! And renders pretty similar shaped/colored trees

12. Michelangelo, The Creation Of Adam
— Kody Young / 💬 Your AI Interpreter (@heykody) May 26, 2023

7. Van Gogh, The Bedroom
— Kody Young / 💬 Your AI Interpreter (@heykody) May 26, 2023

8. Bosch, The Garden of Earthly Delights
— Kody Young / 💬 Your AI Interpreter (@heykody) May 26, 2023
This one was tough and its not entirely AI's fault: the painting is REALLY complex (and frankly weird)
It got the general shapes/colors right, but went really abstract pic.twitter.com/l239fjg24H
