What is generative AI?
Generative AI is a form of artificial intelligence, that has recently gained attention for its ability to create diverse content swiftly, including text, imagery, audio, and synthetic data. Key advancements, particularly with generative adversarial networks (GANs), facilitate the generation of images, videos, and audio.
This technology presents opportunities, including improved movie dubbing and educational content, alongside challenges like deepfakes and cybersecurity risks. Breakthroughs in large language models and multimodal AI have brought generative AI into the mainstream, enabling the generation of engaging text, photorealistic images, and multimedia content.
What is AI art?
AI art encompasses digital creations crafted with generative AI assistance, with humans contributing prompts or data while leaving the final creation to AI. Artists, including digital illustrators and concept artists, grapple with questions regarding the implications of AI on their careers.
As AI evolves, global concerns about its impact on the creative industries, especially in digital painting, prompt discussions on the ethics of AI art.
