Robbie Barrat (19 yo) published his source code based on an open-source code and trained models at github:
https://github.com/robbiebarrat/art-dcgan and Obvious used the pre-trained model
実際にロビーバラットのgithubのコードを動かしてみると... そっくりなものが生成されることがわかっている

He trained his GAN model with the wikiart dataset of 17th century portrait paintings.

Question
Who made this work? Who was the artist?
AI / Obvious / Robbie Barrat / Author of the open-source code / Author of GAN algorithms / 17th century painters?
You can make infinite number of copies/variations. Where the value of an art piece lies.
Can AI be an artist?
