And it’s interesting that it creates art like Moebius but what about the next artist who goes off with their own innovative style?
This is a good point. At the current stage, AI can copy, but can’t innovate… I wonder if it will ever reach that point.
Considering how the AI technology works today, yes, I believe it is true. We can feed an AI model 100,000 images of animals and then play with it to see what “new” animals it creates… But that is no innovation for me. The technology may get there, eventually, but it is not at that point now.
Still. We can get the AI to mix multiple styles to the point that the outcome is disguised, or so loosely related to the original sources that one cannot recognize the parts, but even then, this is not what innovation is.
Agreed. If the AI operator (or handler) adds their own input then the outcome becomes, at least partially, innovation. I have already used AI text tools for my work, and modified the outcome to fit my needs and preferences. It may not be innovation, but it is also not 100% AI as I have added my own input.
That is no the case with this post and the Moebius “AI generated art” examples. Making a claim that text based prompts generating Moebius art is innovation is…well… an insult to Moebius.
In the other hand, if I was an actual artist, using AI to mix my own art with Moebius art, that is another story. One could call that innovation, with some reserves.
I am happy to collaborate with our community!
