Which is better: Photograph or Painting?

The following two oil paintings were snapshot during a visit to the National Gallery of Singapore exhibition on "Asian Artists In Paris 1920s to 1940s".

"A Nun on a Street of Paris"
By Yang San-Iang (1907 - 1995, Taipei)

"House in Puteaux"
By Macario Vitalis (1898 -1990, The Philippines)

Taking a leaf from the above paintings of buildings, I snapshot the following two buildings in Singapore and used ChatGPT to convert them into an oil painting and watercolour painting, respectively.

Offhand, I would opine that while the photographs offer a closer-to-reality of the buildings, the paintings provide a richer texture and depth of the buildings and make them more alive and relatable. What do you think?
