I think one of the reasons why many people are very negative about AI art is because they think it requires little to no effort. You just type a few words and voila: you have an exact depiction of what you had in mind.
It’s an understandable viewpoint and lots of AI art is made with little effort and imagination. However, I think it’s important that we show how some people do try to be a bit more inventive both in subject and process.
I hope that by showing how it’s made people start realising there’s a lot of creative choices that need to be made. To me creating with AI is a lot more like creating abstract art, instead of photography. What colours will I use? What composition am I after? Which effects?
To give people insight into this process I’ll discuss how I created one of my favorite works. This one ???
