AI Imagery
Yesterday, we had a conversation with Henk about creating images in AI software.
Prompting a software to create images requires knowledge in various areas. Firstly, a level of knowledge on art and art history is elemental. Then, understanding of the AI software to guide a succession of prompts to reach certain levels of complexity is also crucial. Lastly, you need to have a motive for creating such imagery. If not with knowledge, you might be creating aesthetically appealing images out of pure intuition. At the end, they all point to having your own signature in the software. Hence, I certainly believe that AI imagery is art.
Here are a few links related to this subject.
