AI has been encroaching on people’s lives left and right, and in a new move, an art world troll put up an AI-generated art piece in a UK Museum, which went unnoticed by many before they began alerting the museum staff. It was reported that the digital art print was showcased at the National Museum Cardiff in Wales by faceless artist Elias Marrow.

The artwork was a historical-style oil painting of a young boy in a school uniform, sitting down with a book under his arm and an empty plate on his lap. The artist had apparently sketched it out before feeding it in AI and making prints of it.
