Whenver I see that post abt a Twitter user completing Keith Haring's unfinished painting with AI and getting replies like 'NO this is BAD ❌🙅‍♂️🔥 the original meaning of the painting wasssss' I'm always a little baffled that rarely do people reblog a version clarifying that the tweet is like. Satire and/or bait

#like cmon it cant just be me right?#its an incredibly provocative painting to alter with ai even without knowing the background #and the ai version is jumbled and frankly boring #shapes dont make sense. motifs are forgotten. the use of negative space is completely removed from the piece #the tweet that it's in reply to sets up the painting as one that 'always makes you cry' thus increasing the impact of the punchline #if it were a genuine example of ai's capabilities it wouldn't have kneecapped itself by setting itself up like that #even the tweet featuring the ai has a tone which feels stilted and manufactured #the use of emojis and phrasing is aggressively neutral particularly the crying emoji #the tone would maybe fit more on facebook or something else #but twitter's audience skews younger and the tweeter's pfp is anime-esque iirc so it feels stilted #i actually think that the tweet itself is a compelling piece of art #idk my spidey senses were tingling #EDIT ok yeah i looked up the twitter user and pretty much all they post is bait particularly wrt gen ai #we can argue about the morality of this transformation but like. much worse has been done to a piece of art #and this kind of intertextuality is wicked common esp in modern satire
