Eli5 how are people using ai to generate art?
In: 0
There are several ai tools out there that are publicly available which take a string of words and generate a picture from them. Some people are using these tools and repeatedly tweaking which words they put in to get a great picture with comparatively little effort on their part.
The one you’ve most likely heard was an artist entered a “digital art” contest using an ai-generated picture and did really well. This is upsetting the artist community because digital art is usually created by hand like traditional painting, just with some extra tools and effects only available with software. This guy won the competition with something like 1-3 hours of “work” (primarily using an ai he didn’t even create himself) when others put in 50-100+ hours.
An equivalent would be winning a sculpting contest using a 3d printer or an amateur rugby tournament by hiring 14 professional players to be on your team and you just jog around. Like, did you follow the rules to win? Technically yes. Was it in the proper spirit of the competition? Absolutely not.
