If you google Hitler's paintings you can see why he was rejected. They're flat, rigid and lacking in creativity - perhaps not surprising for a fascist megalomaniac. I'm curious to see what the AI will learn here. Lots of ai-generated imagery is technically good, but can it really be said to have creativity?

You generally go to school to learn. Rejecting people because they aren't good enough is highly antithetical to the purpose of trade schools.

As places are limited, they need to focus on those with talent and ability.
