I'm going to preface this by saying I'm a big fan of generative art (I've paid real money and have it on my wall).

But, IMHO very personal opinion, the actual product shown is not very good. The biggest issue with generative, and generative AI in general, is how to avoid appearing derivative.

Uh I see the problem. Some of the pieces are quite interesting if you zoom in. Perhaps show fewer pieces bigger?

Agree on all points! I have some nice pieces, some made with Processing and others with Neural Nets, but there’s more to them that lets them hold their own as art (i.e. it’s not “pretty” generative art for the sake of generative art, but art that’s good in the traditional sense made with a new technique).
Thanks for the feedback!
