Tuesday Thoughts - 04/09/2024

 Hello Creative Thoughts Readers,

Today is National Unicorn Day. On windows pcs today we could use the microsoft copilot to create these mythical creatures.  

AI

So I figured today I would build a unicorn that I would love to see in my office. I used the AI generator to create this unicorn in a steam punk style with rainbow mane and tail and steampunk wings.  I actually really like the image it created.  




ART

Generating art with AI is different from anything I have ever really done before.  I am used to drawing and coloring things on my own.  To be honest, nothing looks as good as the artwork I generated from the AI today.  I am struggling with the question though is it really art? I told an application what to do and it interpreted my ideas into an image. So in that respects is the AI Copilot the artist or am I?

I guess in the grander scheme of things neither is really art until an individual, living, breathing and bleeding can make the work themselves whether it is on a computer or doing it through another means. The AI is nothing more than my words displaying an image through interpretation. A lot can be lost in interpretation.  

As I got more detailed in wanting it to modify the picture it would become less and less effective in giving me my wants.  I kept seeing what I wanted in my own imagination but not through the AI interpretation. So my thoughts are that while I love the freedom that AI applications give me to do some fantastic pieces, I am always going to love a hand created item better because I can feel and see the love generated in the piece which is missing from AI created works.

Happy Unicorn Day everyone and enjoy the experience of using AI. 

If it is your first time using AI, engage with the copilot. You might actually really enjoy it. 

Till next time, keep riding your unicorns.
