Without any context, these transformations are pure spectacle. And it's bad when you take something that had meaning and turn it into a spectacle.
This site could be a commentary on the frivolity of AI, a takedown of "great" art, an attempt to make art more approachable, or a tech demo. But without knowing which, it's an impressive, forgettable spectacle.

I provided a handful of other possibilities, but in the absence of any statement from the creator, my interpretation stands.
Though I did notice that all the human characters tend to take on the same generic facial realness, which does diminish the paintings style itself.

That being said, if I had a screen that could reasonably pass as a framed image on the wall, I would love a version of this where I could have a well known picture on it that would primarilly be static but sometimes have subtle movements or shift about a bit as a fun novelty to trip over guests. The typical, blinking, repositioning. Like hoppers nighthawks, but the clerk serving a drink or two. The couple lighting a sigarette or someone walking past the diner.
