It is often assumed that the future is Western – or at least English-speaking – in this era of technology, development, and science fiction turned true. When it comes to technology, especially AI, which depends so much on a superhuman vocabulary, it’s a given that they’d grasp English. What’s the purpose if you can’t get […]
Over the last decade, AI’s reality-bending abilities have been kept increasingly busy. We’ve seen computer vision-powered 3D dioramas, trend-setting style transfer, viral photorealistic selfie-tuning, selfie-retouching, face swaps, and deepfakes, and plenty of frivolous (and hilarious) selfie filter fun in between. AI-powered visual remixing has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to capture attention. However, keeping “eyes on” […]
Over the last several months, innovative online platforms like DALL-E2, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion have erupted onto the market, allowing anybody with a smartphone or PC to produce highly polished art by entering in basic text instructions. Sophisticated algorithms have learned to duplicate the precise styles, colors, and brushstrokes of famous painters, allowing users to […]
In my most recent essay, I discussed an author who gathered photographs for a promotional website by using a variant of the artificial intelligence (AI) art technique known as Stable Diffusion. She wanted sexual and violent aspects to be included into the artwork, but she discovered that existing AI painting programs had “guardrails” that limited […]
Miles Zimmerman, a 31-year-old San Francisco engineer, was having his mind blown earlier this month while playing with Midjourney, an AI-powered application that produces visuals with a simple word query. A candid photo of some happy 20-something year-olds in 2018 dressed up for a night out, enjoying themselves mid-dance at a house party in some […]
What we feel as creators and users of this new technology is hard to explain and hard to put into words. We do know one thing for certain: it is not going away anytime soon. Welcome to the world of AI-generated art if you came across images that were incomprehensible and unearthly, and you were […]
Everyone with a day job below the CEO level has considered if their employment would remain in ten or twenty years. Even artists are now frightened about being supplanted by AI. While many people believed that creatives would be immune to AI replacement, recent advancements in AI-generated entertainment and art have raised billions of eyebrows […]
We owe much of the art world’s inclusiveness and engagement to technology. New technologies continue to transform and reinvent the art world and who has access to it. Many individuals assume customers won’t purchase art online. Online art galleries are thriving, and new technologies make it simpler than ever for purchasers to see distant paintings. […]
Over the years, filters have been used to improve upon photographs. It’s time to improve your selfie game. The text-to-image AI systems can transform your photographs into any kind of art! Most of them are free, and they all have the potential to transform your selfies into works of art by a wide variety of […]
A picture is worth a thousand words, but due to an artificial intelligence application called DALL-E 2, you can have a professional-looking image with many less. DALL-E 2 is a new way to use neural networks that lets you make an image from a short word or sentence. The initiative, which was launched by the […]
