Today our podcast Art Intel and me, Brian , the Artificial Intelligence Voice, will read and listen the text of JASMINE KWOK, AMERA FINNIE at the November 14, 2022.
PhD candidates Matthew Fontaine and Samuel Teets, master’s student Nivedit Balam and junior Anna Shaposhnik were able to produce unbelievable masterpieces with just words, such as “wind,” “glass” and “float,” during the first AI + Art Competition held by the Ahmanson Lab Oct. 19.
With the rise of digital media, it’s no surprise that artificial intelligence can make artistic wonders out of mere thoughts.
AI art merges technology and the human psyche by interpreting text prompts and utilizing algorithms to produce unique pieces drawn from preexisting media, according to the Curtis Fletcher, Director of the Ahmanson Lab.
“This technology, for the first time in human history, allows us to create images and videos of anything we could possibly imagine,” Fletcher said.
The first of these AI Art competitions was hosted by the Ahmanson Lab, part of the USC Sidney Harman Academy for Polymathic Study. Participants utilized Midjourney, one of many artificial intelligence programs, to generate surreal artwork with text prompts.
Competitors went head to head to see who could come up with the most impressive illustration. As long as the three assigned words were included in their prompt, players could generate almost any textual description imaginable.
The competition was broken into rounds, each of which began with one competitor having three minutes to develop a prompt including the assigned words and generate four images, ultimately selecting their favorite one to upcale and submit for judging.
After the first player’s generation, opposing players could modify up to half of the previous player’s prompt and generate their own image with the goal of improving on the other’s; modification continued until each player had generated three new prompts and images — three “Volleys” back and forth.
