Didn’t an ai win a fine arts competition recently? I’d say it’s already creating master pieces. Most of what we’re seeing is really impressive style mashups where ai is generating art based on our aesthetic tastes and understanding of gestalt.

I imagine in 10, 15 years we’ll be well beyond that - with ai driving innovations in artwork theory entirely independent of human intervention. It just really needs to break out of a human trained model into something akin to free-thinking. I’m pretty stoked about it, really. Change is the constant humanity tends to fear and detest - the arts are usually a bit more liberal but we’ve seen this pattern with the introduction of photography. This will allow us to bridge a new realm of what art could be.

Yeah I bet! I always struggle with rapid concept generation so I don’t get fixed on one path. Being able to use ai that can modify compositions, colours, or even principals like rule of thirds or golden ratio sounds mighty appetizing to me.

I haven’t spent much time playing with ai (yet) but I’d like to see a tool with the flexibility of procreate or photoshop married with ai and the features I listed about. Are you aware of anything like that?

I see the value of ai-generated art as a really good way to lay down rough comps quickly. Allowing designers and artists to spatter a huge variety of different ideas in a matter of minutes instead of hours.
