Not sure there's much different here than creating a CGI effects movie. It's still art, just in a new medium. You still (currently) need the concept from the artist.

I could easily have an idea for a piece of visual art but given my unfortunate lack of talent I couldn't produce this sort of thing with the world's best AI.

I'm shit at sports too. 😂

On another note, we could ask AI to produce a film of Only Forward, because I'm not sure a human mind could do it.

It’s like Burning Man meets alien humdrum (in pastels). Fabulous.

These are a thing of beauty and delight! I have strong feelings on AI art, but it's another thing that we will have to accept as part of the landscape. The uncanny valley might become more acceptable!

More like retro-cool alien cosplayers just outside Albuquerque.

Love the creative expansions of boundaries... & the soothing pastels... BUT the eyes are off-putting, distant. My curiosity is up to have a go with Dali, thanks for sharing this delight!

I think that if something promotes an emotional reaction. It has said some worth. I like finding and photographing ‘accidental art’, but I do get funny looks when I’m pointing my camera at a drain!

Love these images, endless possibilities for expressing images from sci-fi minds. I tried to have a chat with ChatGPT but it was unable to answer most of my questions, was more like a slightly more advanced SIRI that just garbled together an answer from the web rather than showing any independent thought, which was slightly reassuring in a disappointingly morbid way. Was I hoping for a sign of consciousness?

I'm interested in my own response to this as I registered at first a tiny note of disappointment it was AI generated.

But plundering the Insta account further I am in love! They're like the amazing avant-garde fashion shoots I've been a fan of forever. Provoking imagination, playing on the borders of what's real and what's fantasy. They remind me of Tim Walker photographs - surreal and weirdly elegant in delicious palettes.

There is no doubt huge amounts of creative direction. I'm beginning to think my tiny note of disappointment was actually a jealousy that I (nor my digital tools) don't make such beautiful stuff.

I've actually dipped my untalented toe into this arena. As an un-gifted, stick figure artist who struggles when trying to create art for my old band's album covers, I find that AI can create an image that surprisingly visualizes what I'm trying to convey through words. I don't take any credit for it, but it sure is cool as hell to see what it dredges up for album titles like Head Ejection Device or Diameter of Irony.

I'm afraid I don't quite understand this.

Has an AI created this without human input or is it just an extension of something already put out there by human creativity?

I'm going to ask my wizardpriest Brian Moore what he thinks😋

Really beautiful. Lovely shades. First one looks, to me anyway like The Nighthawk Diner artist. Winston has it at the Cambridge condo.
