User @jkeatn asked image model Fable 5.2 to create a painting as indistinguishable as possible from a photograph. The result is built from roughly 700,000 simulated brush strokes, depicting an underground parking garage where a painted shopping-cart shadow sits beside a real cart — nearly impossible to tell apart. A striking demo of current image models' control over painterly texture combined with photographic realism.
