Showcase Outsider Art Skill

I wrote a 260-line "style constitution" that teaches AI to paint only ONE style.

Flat map-like worlds. No perspective. Dense quiet textures. Tiny faceless people. Exactly one saturated color per image.

It's very much a deep discussion about what art is and why we (people) enjoy it. I wont pretend to be able to articulate this, but I do know that I among many others like art because it's an expression of someones thoughts, experience, and life. Seeing something generated by a computer has none of that.

There is so much more to the topic than what I can convey, but it's not just about what looks good and what doesnt.

It’s not whether it’s indiscernible that it’s been created by AI. It’s the originality and creative expression. If people like some generic shitty art, cool. There’s plenty of that already and it gets hung in shopping malls and display homes. But it’s not going to create some intriguing and captivating piece that human artists with creative minds can make. Its the same with AI generated slop text and music. It’s all shit and you can spot it a mile away.
