Thrilling advancements are just around the corner!
The world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an ever expanding world of information, utilities, and now art! In this bewildering article about AI creating art, we will be discussing the pros and cons of AI art, the process of how it’s created, and even a sample of artwork created by AI! The first topic is how it affects us in our day to day life, while it is pretty amazing, AI art could be a potential threat to real artists. AI can even mimic styles of famous artists like Leonardo Davinici, and Pablo Picasso. While this sounds very pleasing, the jobs of artists are at stake as AI can generate logos, wallpapers, and even people that look like they came out of a Disney movie!
Though it only takes a few seconds for AI to generate a picture, there are a lot of things happening behind the scenes. The first step to making an AI create art is by making the AI know what to make. The way this is done is by having the AI sort words into categories, for example let’s say you want to make a red circle. The first thing it does is sort your prompt into the categories, it would start by taking the word red and make a red shape of some kind, then it would take the word circle and turn the shape into a circle, lastly it would analyze the prompt looking for any other descriptions, size, style, etc. and finally it will produce the image of your red circle. Another perk of AI art is that it is completely copyright free to use in any way you can think of, one example of this is right on this article! The picture of the seal in scuba gear was created by Adobe Express and is free to use.
Even though the presence of AI art seems great, there are also many cons to it. For example it could replicate famous art styles as mentioned earlier but it can also create propaganda and fake images supporting “fake” news. We have seen this before when Donald Trump used AI to create an image of Taylor Swift fans supporting Trump in the election, however this was quickly debunked by users on social media soon after the image went public.
Now your question is probably ‘What does AI art look like?’ Well, Artificial Intelligence art can come in hundreds of forms, from disney and pixar styled people to extremely realistic breath-taking views.
In conclusion the reputation of Artificial Intelligence creating images is a highly controversial topic to discuss. Lots of people think it is a splendid idea, especially since AI is even starting to create entire animations and videos in a couple of seconds! But this is just the beginning since everyday new scientific breakthroughs and discoveries are happening by some incredible scientists and companies like Open AI, the company that created Chat GPT. In conclusion AI art is an ever expanding field of creativity and imagination that anybody around the world can access with a few clicks of a button.
