The Unreliable Renaissance - Text to Image Generators and their Effects

Chat G

In recent years, AI has revolutionized the way we create art. Text-to-image generators have opened up new possibilities, allowing us to transform words into stunning visuals. However, what does this mean for the future of art? How are these AI tools shaping the creative landscape? To help us answer these questions, we have two exceptional guests. First, we have Chet Bliss, a seasoned IT professional and an AI artist. Chet has been at the forefront of using AI to create breathtaking and thought-provoking art, and with close to half a million image generations, he is one of the most prolific in the field. Later in the show, we'll hear from Nataliia Laba, PhD, a digital media researcher who conducted a recent pilot study on MidJourney images of the conflict in Ukraine. Nataliia's work examines the deeper meanings and cultural impacts of the images produced by these AI systems, offering insights into what AI images communicate and their effect on society. Together, we will delve into the creative process behind AI-generated art, the implications of these technologies on artistic expression, and the fascinating interplay between human creativity and machine learning.
