Developer lets Claude Opus 5.5 paint on simulated canvas
Original: Show HN: Giving Opus 5.5 a simulated paint canvas
A developer has connected Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 model to a simulated paint canvas, letting the AI create paintings stroke by stroke rather than generating images directly. The project, shared as a Show HN post and live at stillwet.art, has drawn hundreds of upvotes, with commenters debating whether the model genuinely makes artistic choices and how this differs from standard image generation.
Why now: The experiment showcases a novel, creative use of a frontier AI model, sparking curiosity about machine artistry.
