This AI Just Won an Art Contest
The computers are taking over, but not in the way you’d expect
Artificial Intelligence has become a topic of interest in the public eye for quite a few years now, with many new technologies contributing to the ever-growing ecosystem of creative tools powered by AI.
What you may not have expected, however, is that these tools have become so powerful that they can already fool their creators.
The Rise of AI-Powered Content
From one-click editing a photo in photoshop or listening to a musical composition that doesn’t exist, it’s hard to deny that the power of AI has become a sort of omnipresent entity looming over the online world.
One of the best examples of this is Midjourney, an AI powered image generation tool that can magically conjure up artistic works with nothing more than a single sentence.
I encourage you to search the web for images created by Midjourney and DALL-E 2, a similar technology. I’m sure you’ll agree that it’s creations can get pretty bizarre — uncanny even.
It can seamlessly recreate any given style, whether it be a retro 80’s vaporwave aesthetic or a children’s crayon drawing.
