RÉSUMÉ

En 30 secondes

Matthew Berman shows a brief experiment in which DeepSeek V4.1 Flash uses a browser-based painting tool to recreate his headshot. He finds the result recognizable and stylized but lacking detail and layered brushwork.

  1. 1The referenceBerman supplies a headshot and lets DeepSeek V4.1 Flash use a Paint-like website.
  2. 2The resultThe displayed output is an abstract, stylized version of the headshot.
  3. 3Missing detailBerman says the model did not reproduce the layered brushstroke technique he had in mind.

À retenir

  1. The experiment uses a reference headshot and a website resembling Microsoft Paint.
  2. Berman judges the resulting portrait stylized but lacking detail.
  3. A single example does not establish general portrait-painting performance.

A browser-painting experiment

Berman introduces the reference image and the tool used by DeepSeek V4.1 Flash. He then assesses the resulting portrait.

The generated portrait
DIAPOSITIVE 1 / 1The generated portraitThe clip shows the stylized result alongside Berman’s assessment of its limited detail.

Here is the reference headshot. I let DeepSeek V4.1 Flash use a website that replicates the basic functionality of Microsoft Paint, then compare the resulting portrait with the original. The short video does not show the complete setup or a controlled comparison.

The result is not bad: it is a very stylized, abstract version of my headshot. But it lacks detail, and I think the model did not reproduce the technique of building up one brushstroke over another. That judgment applies to this particular attempt.
