Iām trying to find the author and the title of a painting that I vaguely remember.
The painting shows a man painting a woman. It looks like an ordinary self portrait but if you look closer you will see that the painted woman has an arm going out of the picture and is directing the arm of the painter.
I think the painted woman was the master of the male painter?
I think itās from Italy, 17th century (very vague reminiscence here)?
I keep thinking about Artemisia Gentileschi but canāt find any link to something similar
Any help would be appreciated, itās driving me crazy
This intrigued me so I tried asking some AI; and in typical AI fashion, they gave me very wrong answers very convincingly.
Gpt4 is convinced it was Vermeerās āArt of Paintingā, and gave a very verbose - but completely wrong - description of how the woman was directing the painterās arm. The BingGPT version even gave me linksā¦ to websites with completely unrelated paintings.
Google bard insists it was Goyaās āThe Double Portraitā, and gave a very detailed analysis and critique of the painting. Itās very convincing, except for the fact that I couldnāt find a painting by that name by Goyaā¦
So Iām sorry I couldnāt be of much help. I just found the whole thing amusing.
Scientists: we made this neat thing that approximates human sounding speech!
Everyone: Iām going to believe every word this thing says
āWe trained it on social media.ā
āWhy does it keep making stuff up and then getting argumentative if called out?!ā
Somehow the model that Bing uses is extremely aggressive in gaslighting you. It would be funny if it wasnāt so reminiscent of some of the most abusive relationships Iāve seen irlā¦
I had someone tell me the other day that they ask AI chatbots for things that they want the correct answer for. They use it as a jumping off point to do more research to find the correct answer. Tbh, I flipped my shit a bit and kept saying āyou know itās not designed to just know the correct answer to everything, just to generate sentences from data collected onlineā.
The fact that people use AI text generators for legitimate inquiries is just so incredibly concerning to me that I could hardly believe it to be true. And I donāt know how to respond to it.
Even weirder was that Google asked me the other day if I wanted to turn on AI generated answers for my search results. Wtf? Why would I want random convincing sounded nonsense to populate my search results??
