I’ve been ‘creating’ art recently through an Artificial Intelligence interface, which generates a piece of artwork based upon keywords entered into it. I’m not entirely sure how it works, but apparently, it scours the internet looking for other pieces of art, drags pieces from them, and puts them back together into the new art form. Or something like that.
It actually is quite impressive how something can be created in the blink of an eye… although things aren’t exactly perfect, and sometimes, another one or two attempts are needed.
At first, things look fine:
But on closer inspection, things are clearly not. This man has five fingers.
That dinosaur is flying without wings.
This viking has a designer party helmet on.
And this vampire picture… well, how many legs does a vampiress need?
It’s fun, creating these pieces, and ideal if a quick image is needed for a blog post (with the caveat of recreation as highlighted above), but before you know it an hour’s passed!
My intention is to create using AI, and then use the creation as a starting point, or inspiration to produce something else through my usual artistic methods. Already some creations have become characters in my short stories.
It’s a pretty handy creation tool… but perhaps a bit too ‘handy’ (with a nod to the first image above)!
