That's kind of an interesting way to handle the copyright issues. Not sure how effective it is as I suspect that can be bypassed by including a bunch of details about the artist but not the name.

> ... in the style of a famous Spanish artist who was born in 1881 and passed away in 1973 [and a bunch of other shit about Pablo Picasso]

(I also notice that this is more verbose than just "in the style of Pablo Picasso", which probably helps OpenAI's bottom line given costs associated with token counts. I doubt that's their intention with the change, just something of note. And, of course, a living example would be more applicable for copyright issues but the idea is still demonstrated.)

The artist whose name includes Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz.

I think it'll decline if you ask for a living artist, but sounds like it'll work for other artists.

But otherwise you're right — some might not work.

Crafting descriptions of an artist and/or individual works may function as a reasonable replacement for specific names. That's what's happening behind the scenes anyway.

It's an interesting problem. Like, what's the point of conception for a work of art?
