  Image-generation models are changing how we express ourselves in visual art.
However, what people think of AI-generated art is still largely unexplored,
especially compared to traditional art. In this paper, we present the design of
an interactive research product, GenFrame - an image-generating picture frame
that appears as a traditional painting but offers the viewer the agency to
modify the depicted painting. In the current paper, we report on a study where
we deployed the GenFrame in a traditional art museum and interviewed visitors
about their views on AI art. When provoked by AI-generated art, people need
more of the artist's backstory and emotional journey to make the artwork
commensurate with traditional art. However, generative AI-enabled interactive
experiences open new ways of engaging with art when a turn of a dial can modify
art styles or motifs on a painting. A demo can be seen here:
