Great mix of ideas, Brian.

The notion of "surefire mediocre sludge" resonated with me following a visit to a noted museum in Bilbao where a significant amount of space (and energy) is devoted to AI generated graphics.

Also, the Vermeer forgeries reminded me of an art history class in college, in which we had to determine if a picture was a genuine Vermeer or a forgery (it was, but an early one, and most of the students, including me, thought it was a forgery). I distinctly remember wondering at the time why the difference was seen as so meaningful, since either way it was a beautiful painting? I’ll have to chew on your explanation.
