I think this is an example of taking the human creativity and heart out of art. Allowing the 'machine' of AI to have it's way.

I agree, this statue is an ugly amalgamation of beautiful influences.

I've seen some truly gorgeous pictures of 'impossible sculpture' - but I'm never really sure whether they are photos of actual sculptures, or digital images! Perhaps that's where the real impossibility sits, in going from vision to reality?

The problems faced by the engineers in actually transferring a piece of AI art might have made the difference.

Whatever the case, you're right, this experiment produced something aesthetically ugly, patched together like Frankenstein's monster.
