Generative AI in Art
Another Sunday morning, another item of my series exploring generative AI for art. As you may already know, I took the beautiful sunset image that ChatGPT had created for me and requested a visualization in various styles to see and compare the results. I call this series Sunset in AI-Land.
So far, I’ve done it for several styles, ranging from pointilism, cubism, and pop art, to comic style, surrealism, neo-expressionism, and more. I like them. Some more, some less, but they are all impressive in a way.
This time I did not try to match certain artistic styles but asked ChatGPT to create a photo realistic look that resembles a mosaic of tiny square toy bricks..
ChatGPT cameup with a good result from just a single prompt, however, closer inspection reveals that the engine failed to stick to my request to strictly use just full color 1×1 bricks. The dark brown lines on the beach look like hand-drawn and do not respect the raster at all. The same happened to the place where the rope of the boat meets the beach. What’s more, some bricks in the water seem to be two-colored, especially at the edges of the dark blue patches.
But hey – it’s still a nice visualization of an entirely fictious scene that took just minutes to create, build, and “shoot”.
