9/10, but I was already familiar with the algorithm. Useful features to find the nature of the "artist" for me included the following:

- Is the style of the painting applied uniformly over the whole image? Humans will, for effect, leave parts of a painting less emphasized and developed, whereas this algorithm will generally apply a style to the entirety of an image.

- If a painting has a surreal style, the subject is generally also surreal. Human painters distort shapes and forms. This is not done by this algorithm.

- Humans will add contrast to make objects stand out, even if colours are similar to their background. This is something the computers haven't yet completely figured out.

Still, this is a very impressive algorithm.



8/10, on a mobile device, just going on gut instinct
