Human Evaluators Fooled By Princeton Student's AI Generated Chinese Paintings

A college student's thesis work has made strides in machine-original art generation — at least in artistic styles that emphasize edge definition.
The student created a data set of over 2,000 traditional Chinese landscape paintings from museum collections to train the model.
Synched reports, "Princeton undergrad student Alice Xue has designed a GAN framework for Chinese landscape painting generation that is so effective most humans can’t distinguish its works from the real thing. ...The proposed framework, Sketch-And-Paint GAN (SAPGAN), is the first end-to-end model for Chinese landscape painting generation without conditional input. The 242 participants in a visual Turing test identified SAPGAN paintings as human artworks with a frequency significantly higher than paintings from baseline GANs."
The works created by SAGPAN were mistaken by the human participants as human art as often as 55 percent.
