Opus 5.5 got control of a robot arm and tried painting Starry Night. The creator says a previous painting experiment took 3 attempts just to get something slightly recognizable. This time, on attempt one, Claude figured out: – brush + stroke width – the arm’s precision limits – green mixing into brown during lifts – yellow paint being too watery for the stars then it made this. how did it do? 👀
