    it’s not hard to tell that it’s a painting after even a cursory glance.

    But the question is, would it have been harder to spot as a painting if I hadn’t been told it was a painting before clicking on it?

    I dunno. But I still think it’s very obviously a painting. A very good one, for sure. But not quite as photorealistic as this thread seems to want to ooh and aahhh about.

    This is cool and all but I like REAL art…

    You know like when a guy climbs a ladder with a balloon, jumps off and belly flops onto the balloon fill with paint and then the canvas sort of rips in the corner. Then you have a biggish blob of paint on the floor and the crowd goes wild for your artistic ability and pure genius. Then you turn around and sell your pure art for millions of dollars worth seconds of your time.

    That’s the REAL art

    It’s just amazing what people are capable of achieving. This painting is remarkable.

    I don’t see the point once you reach photo realistic unless you’re portraying things that cannot exist in reality. Just take a picture bro.

    Cela n’est pas une peinture

    It’s a digital image (of a painting of a dog)

    For me it’s the fur, especially in the dog’s right side. It’s too muddy and undefined.

    Even the most single-toned animal will have more detail in it’s fur regardless of lighting.

    This is my dog waiting for me to get my ass out of bed to get her breakfast.

    I don’t need to zoom in to see individual hairs.

    in this thread, as a twist on the more common meme “is this AI” or the more accusatory variant “this is AI”, we doubt human intelligence instead

    I’m disheartened by comments stating “whats the point?” just because it’s hyper realistic. I do prefer less realistic art too, but the amount of dedication it must’ve taken this person to develop these skills and then the work on each painting, it speaks volumes beyond just being a replacement for a picture… You’d hang it on a wall and tell every visitor “this is a painting” and then each and every one of them would go NOOO
