Is AI art truly creative? * 1
    #28626262 - 01/18/24 05:43 PM (9 days, 20 hours ago)

Before I delved into it, I would be in the doubtful camp.

Then I got to thinking about the earliest of post-civilzation artists. I imagine most made their own paints and dyes, even brushes; and quite possibly, their own canvas or substrate. As the centuries passed, an artist could buy or trade for premade paints, brushes and canvas. Was that "cheating"? Purists of the day might say yes, but very few today would.

Then along came photography. Was that "cheating" in that you could create an image in a very short time compared to painting a portrait? No, it was just a new form of expression. Even as each camera became more automatic than the previous generations with built-in light meters and auto-focus and so on, people protested that these advances made it less of an artform.

I contend that this is the same with AI imagery.

Take a look at my online art gallery before you agree or disagree, and tell us if there is or is not, some degree of creativity behind these images.

To those who have dabbled, I would also like to see some of your creations.


Note to mods: I ask your indulgence here as I realize this is not a place to market goods and that is not my intention. I don't need more money. Also, I only have a year, or two, left and these images will be part of my legacy.

Thanks for the compliment.

I like Spock during a mind-meld. Did not know that neurons had such cute butts - lol!

Your painting of the two musicians is quite extraordinary!

Cuteness + psychedelia =



While the basic image we have all seen before, the textures and interplay of colors breathe new life into it.


To counterbalance all that cuteness, here is a much more original image. A simulated oil painting of a battle-weary Samurai.
