  • The Addictive Nature of AI Art Apps

    I’ve been thinking a lot about the addictive nature of AI art. Using the AI art apps often feels like using a slot machine. I vacillate from, “It’s fun, it’s cool, it’s crazy,” to “it’s dull, it’s fake, it’s a ripoff, it’s a dopamine hit.” The addictive quality of making these images is nothing new […]

  • Diner Aesthetic Images made with Stable Diffusion

    These AI images were both created with NightCafe, using the stable diffusion option.

  • AI Art: When one thing becomes another

  • AI Art: In the Style of Georgia O’Keeffe

    One of the fun things about making is AI art, is seeing whether an algorithm recognizes an artist. Dall-E 2 (which I am eagerly waiting for an invite) seems to recognizes a great variety of artists. For now I am using the wombo app, and from what I can gather, it only recognizes the very […]
