Some of them, like the one with the cubes or the flowers, are simple enough that an AI can replicate them relatively reliably. There isn't much technique or composition to works like that, at which point it's more guesswork than knowing which one is made by a computer. However, everything that exceeds the simplicity of a bunch of geometric figures or a flower bouquet like the surrealist archway or van Gogh's Sunflowers looks just awful if an AI tries to imitate it.

Then again, these things look awful and pointless to the general consumer too, so I guess with how hyped AI is among the techbros constantly defending it under posts like this one, art will become even more elitist than it already is and the simpleton consumers will be fed by a tireless AI prompt algorithm like they're unworthy of the love and care a real human puts into designs and artworks.

How anyone could want that escapes me. Then again, much of what's happening in the world these days escapes me.
