Your cathedrals in Ice cannot be replicated by AI even though it tried. Actually the AI pictures got worse with the more instructions you gave it! I noted that the AI images were all based on a specifically Christian idea of a cathedral, so the cultural bias is obviously white, paternalistic Christian and is really quite devoid of nature inspired lines, shapes, colors or values. Very mechanistic. There are so many different ways a religious or spiritual cathedral image could be drawn. Yours, for example, takes the shape of the Greenland land mass. Other cathedrals could be forests, skyscapes, caverns in the earth or under the sea, etc , etc. Poor AI has such a limited imagination! Poor, impoverished AI! It sadly reflects it's creators who failed to incorporate all of life's majesty in it's conception. Oh well. Keep trying AI.
Thank you!! If I had asked for a "Forest Temple" it would (presumably) have had Greek columns. I have still not filed an objection (or complaint) to my work being used to train AI. I think AI is in bad need of education if it is to be used in all situations by future generations....
It would take AI a looong time to catch up to your style of painting , Imelda. And because it lacks the soul....it never will. That must be why AI artwork always seems a little "off" to me.
The pictures lack the subtlety of your paintings. There are lots of AI landscape pictures online but they're too clumsy and over the top to look convincing.
That is true, but AI get better literally every minute. So I am working ahead in some ways, trying to keep up and trying to track when AI overtakes my skillset (if ever)...
Not to my surprise , but AI did not create a Imelda Alquist painting. It just put together what you asked, cathedral, polar bears etc. Maybe you can feed AI with al kinds of facts and information but you can not feed it feelings or emotions , indispensable for a work of art.
I've been learning a lot about AI too thus year, and beginning to use it to create pictures. One thing I've found is that the prompt can't be too complex. At the same time it has to be specific.
I've asked it fir pictures of my assassin heroine, and of a dragon spinning straw into gold. After about 4 goes each it gave me credible images that work for the story.
But they are not in my painting style.
AI is indeed trained from all of our content but ... only that. We are more than our content, more than the sum of our parts. And no AI has (as yet) been into my soul and spirit for their content.
Add in that I'm continually changing, we all are, and nobody is putting all those changes into AI. So its always playing catchup.
I think of AI as like Mr Data in Star Trek, but nothing like as advanced. Maybe, one day, but I'm not holding my breath 😅.
A prompt can only contain 5 key words, if the image is to stay on track. Less than that, the result is miles off. But in terms of sacred art, the images lack soul and indwelling spirit. So.. I will keep painting!
Thank you so much! I will!!
A brilliant demonstration of what AI doesn't do, thank you! Keep on painting, please!
