It's interesting that the impressionist-styled pieces mostly fooled people. I think this is because the style requires getting rid of one of the hallmarks of AI imagery: lots and lots of mostly-parallel swooshy lines, at a fairly high frequency. Impressionism's schtick is kind of fundamentally "fuck high-frequency detail, I'm just gonna make a bunch of little individual paint blobs".

One of the other hallmarks of AI imagery was deliberately kept out of this test. There's no shitposts. There's one, as an example of "the dall-e house style". It's a queen on a throne made of a giant cat, surrounded by giant cats, and it's got a lot of that noodly high-frequency detail that looks like something, but it is also a fundamentally goofy idea. Nobody's gonna pay Michael Whelan to paint the hell out of this and yet here it is.
