Maybe to photoshop who could implement a brush, or some app maker for ios or android who could take a stick figure and make into an Impressionistic painting. I don't know. Throw out the old rules, if visual art was already tough to earn a living with before, it just got a little harder. I haven't seen how they created a physical painting out of it, that part interests me more.

These pictures are almost certainly just inkjet prints, not paintings. The idea of AI-generated art is a bit like the concept of sex robots. Maybe in the distant future, it's something people will be able to take seriously. Right now it's an embarrassment. Nobody with a serious grasp of what art is (in relation to humans) would be seen anywhere near this. It just doesn't mean anything, conceptually or aesthetically. It's like computer-generated nonsense poetry. There's no way around the reality that a GAN can only produce a weak imitation of actual (human) artistic expression.
