AI Detects Unusual Signal Hidden in a Famous Raphael Masterpiece

The method has previously been shown to have a 98 percent accuracy level when it comes to identifying Raphael paintings.

Says who?

[Rembrandt]

Agree

First example of a photo-bombing?

Whatvyou have written is true and I support your comment.

The “ Art World” already has numerous methods to detect

anomalies in suspect high art claims. The human eye ,sense

of smell and touch in verification of provenance all

play the part of authentication.

There is not anything in the world that can replace these

ways in documentation and verification of provenance.

With AI ? its the deception you have been warned about

because AI is garbage in/ garbage out .

Nothing can replace the human eye and its five senses.

If by some chance you invest in the art world now is the

time to hold on to what you have in your collection

and not let go.

AI “ art” will thrive because of algorithmic appeal

of what can be produced ; appealing to the tik tokers

and social media fiends & influencers

the way I look at it AI is strictly a simulacrum.

In the coming years people will tire of the ever changing

algorithms( sp?)

and seek to return , yet again , to making genuine art.

As for me and my opinion about art I will always hold

dear the artwork that I have and the art I have collected

and will treasure these pieces even more just like my

old 1994 Ford150q² long bed.

i have no idea where the q2 thing came from so pardon please

[piasa]

True... but on the other hand, when AI is used to create artwork, it does weird things like give human figures 3 hands, or tries to pass off obvious cormorant-cardinal mashup images as woodpeckers.

[thesligoduffyflynns]

a bit strict arent we ?

this is about AI and ART

ART is made by humans , get it?

That’s right, we should immediately curtail all aesthetic interest and recreational activities until the votes are re-counted. /s

The British series “Fake or Fortune” is an excellent show featuring art dealer and historian Philip Mould and Fiona Bruce who hosts the UK Antiques Roadshow. There has been 11 seasons of the show, with approximately 4 episodes in each season. Mould and Fiona help owners of various forms of art, to prove or disprove whether a piece of art is an original. They work with various art experts and conservationists in order to help discover whether the work is a fake or a fortune. Some of the episodes are available on YouTube.

'weird things like give human figures 3 hands'

Well, as far as art goes, it's an improvement over '.stop-motion'. (One could certainly use three hands a lot more than a hand with only 3 or 4 fingers...)

Joesph got right screwed.

Shows the importance of having a good agent.

Thanks! A few years ago I enjoyed a documentary on the restoration of Leonardo’s Salvator Mundi, I’m looking for that one, probably should check for the saved file of it. :^)

You ought to look at what YouTuber Thinker thinker goT when he asked AI to make picture of a Bigfoot standing next to a Buffalo.

It is pretty funny.

“...having a good agent.”

That’s what I say about polar bears. Remember when it was all about the baby seals? Now it is all about the bears and global warming.

Bears that eat seals.

You’re welcome. I thoroughly enjoy watching the episodes where they have art restorers and conservationists cleaning the paintings, putting them under x-ray and ultra-violent light to see if anything shows up, like a previous painting on the same canvas, that isn’t visible to the naked eye. It amazes me how they use a cotton swab and special chemicals to reveal and uncover years of grime and varnish, and discover parts of paintings that weren’t visible until being cleaned. I think I would find it very relaxing, and satisfying, sitting there with a pair of magnifying glasses on, and slowing cleaning and revealing a painting, returning it to the way it looked when it was first painted.
