Can you show us where this art auto generation tool you are talking about? I have used Picsart and clearly this one is the drawing tool. But show us how it's done with the tool you're saying first

So in my opinion those digital "paintings" form last week were evidently traced over these photos. He has not given sources on purpose.
The level of quality of his drawing and proportions was a sudden increase.
Tracing is basically like using a coloring book. You put the photo or image as underlayer, then trace the lines and shades. Then you put your colours over it. Done with colour pencils, paint or digitally, makes no difference.
guiltyparties explained it in his recent post. Although in this case, there is no art being used to trace, just photography. But in my opinion it is attempt of deception.
As it was not stated that the photos were traced and the photos were not sourced.

Or in another recent post.

Definitely traced over. Line to line.

Recently he has been tracing photos by putting them as undercover as he has problems getting proportions right just by drawing from head or by looking from a distance.
For comparison, you can see in his previous art that the quality of drawings was much woerse. Often not getting proprotions and shading right.

Tracing is just another technique used in artmaking. What he did was painted it so it looked different which made it original. Please consider reading Julia’s post.
