This is not a Turing test. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I bet that none of this was drawn by a computer. Most likely, those that were supposedly "drawn by computers" were pictures drawn by humans but applied various type of filtering (e.g. those by the deep learning algorithms).

Well, yea. It says as much on the page:

"one is painted by a human and another one is generated by artificial intelligence based on a photo and a style of a painter."

I find this to be easily "beatable" by simply judging which one is most likely to have its origin in a photo (vanity, and such) with a fallback on the one with a lot of repeating patterns.

I would say it is not a Turing test primarily because it does not involve a dialog between the examiner and the subjects.

I don't think programs written to imitate a craft, or even to learn to imitate a craft from examples, count as AI, no matter how impressive.

What about a photograph with filters applied to it? Does that count?

Think what would really count as a "visual turing test" is if the computer-generated images were really "generated" by a computer, not rendered from a photo. Still, it's an interesting exercise in how much the rendering can make the photo feel "opinionated"—as if you can sense the painter behind it; that's the criteria I used for choosing, but I got a 7/10.

I think you are teasing me, but my answer would be: no, it doesn't count. The Turing test is about "understanding". The filtering of those images has no understanding of what the images are about.
