Feels like you’re indirectly asking whether A.I. upscaling of art like the Mona Lisa is “better” than the original. Maybe you would enjoy looking at it or showing the novelty to your friends but at the end of the day it’s an imitation. We used to call this “tracing” back in the day, and if found out you were generally made fun of.

Remember the controversy when a phone camera would detect you were taking a photo of the moon and Photoshop on a high definition render of the moon to fake a great camera lens? Just because it looks higher definition doesn’t make it better. It’s fake. The A.I. wouldn’t respect the brush strokes of the artist, and might add details that didn’t exist originally, for example.

Edit: hang on, didn’t we literally already have this exact same discussion before about the validity of A.I. art? I recognise your username from somewhere…
