Recent rapid developments in artificial intelligence rank among the most significant technological breakthroughs of the decade. Today, text-to-art, generative AI models like Midjourney and DALL-E are so sophisticated that sometimes users’ own human limitations—rather than the model’s constraints—are often the primary obstacle when people have first contact with the technology.

When you can create anything, people grapple with deciding “what to create,” leading to decision paralysis.

However, AI has its own struggles too. The perfect example is creating perfect hands. The web is littered with eerie, terrifying images of model-perfect people with too many, too few, or impossibly interconnected fingers.

Why is it that a model capable of generating realistic images of a bear in a tuxedo riding a bicycle in the Swiss Alps still has trouble with something as simple as a hand? The answer is far from straightforward.

First, humans have not always been exceptionally skilled at creating hands. Mastering realistic hand drawing has taken us centuries, to say the least. Just as an example, these hands from different eras are not realistic -—and certainly not beautiful.

In fact, human artists have only managed to consistently create visually pleasing hand representations in the last 600 years. That means only about 0.3% of our 200,000-year-old art history features beautiful hands. In this regard, let’s give machines some credit.
