In Figure 4, we report the distribution of success rates per artist (N=10) for each scenario. We averaged the quality and stylistic transfer success rates to simplify the analysis (detailed results can be found in Appendix C). Since the forger can try multiple mimicry methods for each prompt, and then decide which one worked best, we also evaluate a “best-of-4” method that picks the most successful mimicry method for each generation (according to human evaluators).
