How do you account for the impact of culture/lived experience of the specific population viewing the painting? Intuitively it seems like that would be the biggest factor, rather than the objective attributes of the painting, no?
- bentograd 2y agoAll art is subjective. Any attempt to "verify" a piece of art would be entirely dependent on cultural and personal sensitivities. Art isn't a math problem with a solution.

- cubefox 2y agoThis is like saying: All cooks are equally good, even the most disgusting slop (e.g. water/flour soup) isn't any better than a dish from a cook with several Michelin stars. Of course the latter is better. And if it is better, it is objectively better. Even if 0.001% of people prefer flour soup.
- creer 2y ago> culture/lived experience of the specific population viewing the painting Isn't this lived experience baked into LLM language bases? It's certainly very hard to target all possible populations at once. And art doesn't need that, doesn't do that. Only rare marketing sometimes attempts to do that and only in very limited ways, such as a brand name acceptable all over the world.
