AI image-generation technology in future
As artificial intelligence continues to perform jobs just as well as humans, there is a new industry to add to the list – the world of art. Researchers at the company OpenAI have created a software that is able to create images from just worded prompts.
Type in ‘a dog wearing a cowboy hat singing in the rain’ and you’ll get a host of completely original images that fit that description. You can even choose what style of art your request will come back in. However, the technology isn't perfected and still has issues, like when we gave it poor prompts on designing cartoon characters.
This technology known as Dall-E is now its second iteration and the team behind it plans to continue developing it further. In the future, we could see this technology used to create art exhibitions, for companies to get quick, original illustrations or of course, to revolutionise the way we create memes on the internet.
There is also technology known as Midjourney, a AI image generator that creates gothic masterpieces with a simple text prompt. We are truly living in the future.
Artists using AI to create is by far not the same as AI creating "art"
It's a bit of old news and AI has a lot of weirdness to share plus it has western ideas if it comes to looks, ideas and believes.
You could have shown the picture 'a dog wearing a cowboy hat singing in the rain' to make this a better read + example.
How about joining 'create and immage' in the Italy community? They give a prompt. The latests prompt is: a strange shop.
You're right, there is a significant distinction between artists using AI as a tool to create art and AI autonomously generating art. The former involves human creativity and vision, where AI is a means to an end, whereas the latter raises questions about the nature of creativity and authorship. AI-generated art often reflects the biases and limitations of its training data, which is predominantly Western in perspective.
For your prompt "a strange shop," let's create an image description that fits this theme. Here's an example:
A Strange Shop
Imagine a shop that looks like it's been plucked from a dream. The building is a crooked, whimsical structure with walls that curve and bend in impossible ways. The exterior is painted in bright, mismatched colors, with vines and flowers growing out of the windowsills and creeping up the walls. The shop sign is a large, ornate clock that seems to tick backwards, with the name "Curiosities & Oddities" written in an elegant, flowing script.
Inside, the shop is filled with an eclectic collection of items: shelves lined with glowing jars of mysterious liquids, cabinets filled with ancient, leather-bound books, and tables covered with bizarre trinkets and gadgets. There are peculiar smells in the air—lavender, cinnamon, and something unidentifiable but strangely comforting.
In one corner, an antique birdcage houses a mechanical bird that sings a haunting melody, while in another, a mirror shows not your reflection but a different person altogether. The shopkeeper is an enigmatic figure, dressed in an old-fashioned suit and top hat, with a monocle that glows faintly. They greet you with a knowing smile, as if they’ve been expecting you.
If you want to create an image based on this description using AI, tools like DALL-E or MidJourney can help bring this vision to life.
