EXPERIMENTATION / CASE STUDY
prompting AI-generated images for reference

How can we (human artists) utilize ai generated images as a tool, while still being sensitive to the art community?

My opinions...
I am about to embark on an expository journey that shall manifold ways in which artificial intelligence (AI) has indelibly impacted the world of creativity, and how we GenXers, who grew up watching Weird Science, dreaming of hoverboards and computers, are navigating this brave new world with a mixture of caution, fear, and excitement.

As an interactive art director, I have always sought to push the boundaries of creative expression and explore the frontiers of innovation. But with AI looming large over the horizon, I find myself grappling with a host of questions and concerns. Will AI render us obsolete, or will it augment our creative capabilities and enable us to soar to new heights of artistic excellence?

One thing is certain - the sheer magnitude of possibilities that AI presents to the creative mind is simply mind-boggling. But in order to truly harness the power of this technology, one must possess a wild imagination and a unique talent that can stand out amidst the sea of AI-generated content.
For those who lack such a singular spark of creativity, the risk of getting lost in the churning AI sea of "art" looms large. But for those who possess the requisite grit, determination, and imagination, the sky's the limit.

As for me, dear reader, I am thrilled at the prospect of exploring how I can leverage AI to fuel my own creative evolution, while also using it responsibly and respectfully as a tool for inspiration. So let us all embrace this brave new world of AI with a sense of wonder, excitement, and a healthy dose of caution. For the future is indeed bright, but it is up to us to shape it in a way that is both beautiful and meaningful.

Furthermore, let me make something abundantly clear - any claims of creating "art" merely by using AI-generators to churn out images is not only a blatant disrespect to the creative process but also downright super lame.

Art is so much more than just a mere product of algorithms and mathematical equations. It is an expression of the soul, an ode to the human experience, and a celebration of the limitless potential of the human mind.

While AI may certainly aid us in the creative process, it can never replace the essence of what makes art truly great - the human touch, the nuance, and the raw emotion that lies at the heart of every masterpiece.

So let us not be fooled by the allure of quick-fix solutions and technological shortcuts. Let us instead embrace the challenges and opportunities presented by AI with an unwavering commitment to the timeless principles of creativity, imagination, and authenticity.
