@andybaio Why doesnʼt Mona Lisa have a bottom half though?

@andybaio "The rest of the Mona Lisa" is such a weird idea to start with. There is no rest of the painting. The painting we have is the whole thing.

The AI may be generating a background, but the AI booster is generating a new reality.

@andybaio Or:

- Add 16 further hours to the Lord of the Rings trilogy (that's 24 extra endings)
- Zoom out Andy Warhol's Empire to include three feet of extra city street
- Add an extra, purely hallucinatory viewpoint to Rashomon, adding nothing to the story
- Take another three loops through Russian Ark

@andybaio this guy would walk up to Hemingway and be like

Kody [excited]: I’ve had an AI complete some of your short stories!!
Ernest: ??????

@andybaio ok but out painting and infill is an actual useful application of this stuff.

@andybaio can you believe these lazy nerds? this is almost as bad as that pixel art fad where some guy got sued over doing a riff on another old piece of art.
