Some people believe that artificial intelligence, or Ai, will eventually create art that is indistinguishable from that created by humans. Others believe that Ai-created art will be its own distinct form of expression. But what is Ai art, and what does it look like? Is this the furture of art? Let’s take a moment to explore this new artistic frontier.
How is Ai Art Created?
Ai art is created by algorithms, or sets of rules, that are written by humans and then executed by computers. The algorithms can be very simple, or they can be quite complex. Ai art can be completely abstract, or it can represent things that we see in the world around us. Sometimes, the algorithm is designed to create a specific type of art, such as a landscape painting. Other times, the algorithm is designed to create whatever art it can, without any specific goals in mind.
Some people believe that Ai art is a new form of expression that will eventually replace traditional art forms. Others believe that Ai art is simply a tool that humans can use to create new art, just as we have used computers to create new forms of music or film. What do you think?
Advantages of Ai Art Compared to Traditional Art
Efficiency
Ai art has a number of advantages over traditional art. Firstly, it is more efficient. Traditional art can be very time-consuming, and often requires a lot of materials. With Ai art, you can create a work of art in a fraction of the time, and with far fewer materials. This is because you can create an artwork using computer software, which is much faster than traditional methods.
Accuracy
Secondly, Ai art is more accurate. Traditional art can be subject to human error, which can ruin a work of art. With Ai art, you can create an artwork that is perfect in every way. This is because computer software can create perfect shapes and lines, which is not possible with traditional methods.
Versatility
Thirdly, Ai art is more versatile. Traditional art is often limited to a certain medium, such as painting or sculpture. With Ai art, you can create an artwork using any medium you like. This is because you can create an artwork using computer software, which can be used to create artworks in any medium.
Accessability
Fourthly, Ai art is more accessible. Traditional art can be expensive and difficult to obtain. With Ai art, you can create an artwork using any computer, which makes it much more accessible. This is because you can create an artwork using computer software, which is widely available.
How Ai Art is Changing the Art World
This type of art is changing the art world because it is opening up new possibilities for what art can be. With Ai art, artists are no longer limited by their own skills and knowledge; they can now create art that is beyond their own ability. This is allowing artists to create new and unique pieces of art that would not be possible without the help of artificial intelligence.
Ai art is also changing the way that art is valued. In the past, art was often valued based on the skill of the artist or the rarity of the piece. However, with Ai art, the value of a piece of art is often based on its uniqueness or its ability to provoke thought or emotion. This is because Ai art is often created with the intention of being different from other pieces of art.
The art world is changing rapidly with the advent of Ai art, and it is becoming clear that this new form of art is here to stay. Whether you think it is good or bad, there is no doubt that Ai art is changing the way we think about art and its value.
My Experience With Ai Art
Before I started my journey creating Ai art, I had viewed many pieces of Ai art via Instagram. I thought they were phenomenal to say the least. I didn’t even realize that some of the images were created with the help of Ai. They were that good. I had to do a double take and read the caption in order to deduce that it was actually generated via Ai software. I was completely blown away with how well the Ai was able to create art with such accuracy.
My First Ai Art Pieces
I never imagined in my wildest dreams that I would have the opportunity to create my own Ai artwork, but as luck would have it, my cousin Kola decided to gift me a subscription to Creative Fabrica Spark during the month of November. Needless to say, it was the BEST GIFT EVER!
When I finally logged into my account on Thanksgiving Day, I decided to research how to properly write a prompt in order to achieve my desired results. I studied the prompts of the art that was available on the site in order to get a feel of what was required. The basic formula was to state the topic of the art (Santa standing in the snow), elaborate on what you want it to look like (colors, hair texture, skin color, background, etc…), and state the artistic style or medium you want it to use in order to create the image (Picasso, Norman Rockwell, Andy Warhol, digital, etc…).
My First Ai Piece of Artwork
Once I finally felt comfortable enough to start, I decided to create a piece of artwork which represented an African American grandmother cooking in the kitchen in the style of Norman Rockwell. I tried to make sure I described her outfit, hair, and the kitchen in detail.
After I completed my prompt, I pressed the ignite button and eagerly awaited my results. The images that were generated were quite interesting to say the least. Most of them look distorted. There were limbs missing, eyes in the wrong place, and hands with extra digits. I was a bit disappointed, but I didn’t give up.
My Second Attempt
I then decided to tweak the prompt a bit and pressed ignite again. My next set of images were slightly better, but not by much. The kitchen in the background was more to my liking and the grandmother didn’t look like Sasquatch. However, it still wasn’t as nice as some of the artwork I had viewed on the site.
Ultimately, I spent the better part of my day refining my prompt trying to get the image right. Eventually, I decided to cut the kitchen out of the prompt altogether and just focus on making the grandmother look right. It took a minute, but the Ai finally rendered some images that were decent.
Final Thoughts
Although I spent a long time on perfecting my first prompt, I wasn’t discouraged. As a matter of fact, I was thrilled to try it again. I really wanted to see what else it could do with other subject matter. Clearly, it was capable of producing quality art. I just needed to practice writing my prompts so that the Ai could create what was in my head.
The Verdict
It has now been two weeks since I started creating Ai artwork and I have to say that I have improved tremendously. I have prompted it to make everything from wedding dresses to mermaids yielding some fascinating results. Some of it looks fantastic, while the rest looks questionable. However, I have learned that this is the nature of Ai. It is still in training. Therefore, it is not going to produce impeccable artwork 100% of the time.
Finally, I just want to say that I love using this new tool to create art. I think with time, it will just get better and better the more we train the Ai. It is a fun way for both non-artists and traditional artists to express themselves. I definitely feel it will take the art world to new heights. With Ai, their is no limit to what can be created.
