Theme

Theme is inspired by the popular reaction to aigen and a Rembrandt painting

How would the studio of an artist who is using “artificial assistance” look like?

compared to, for example, an artist who hires other artists as assistants? Or an artist who works without assistance? Or an artist who doesn’t work but signs their assistants works? Or an artist who tapes a banana to a wall?

by “popular reaction”, i mean the “i downVote everything aigen”, “aigen will replace artists”, “It’s already difficult for artists to make money, now businesses can just generate the images they need”, “ai stole our hardwork” &c

    A steampunk robot doll with fantastic clockworks mechanism wearing a victorian dress sits in front of an easel, her left mechanical hands goes toward a canvas on which a cat is being painted. her right mechanical hand holds a painter palette. The scene occurs on a victorian room, near the robot, there is a small on table on which a nice glass is filled with mechanical oil

    Model is Flux Dev

    Actually impressed that it drew a left handed robot, a requeted

      if that (prompt?) is a carrot, what’s the stick?

      or is that a poet using ai to write their poems?

      double rainbow? What does it mean?

        We have evolved beyond stick, now I only seek constant instant gratification from machine.

    I think I kind of misinterpreted the theme and focused on my personal process. But now that I’ve put so much effort into this, I don’t want to keep it to myself.
    So feel free to disqualify me if it doesn’t fit the theme :)

    No prompt this time. I spend a long time trying to get the consistency right with a lot of tweaks here and there.
    And yes, I used another program to stitch them together.

      even the 1st one by itself does fit the theme. Recently animations became a part of the challenge, so this triptych should be ok

      i love the first image 😅

      resembles my process too, but my bot would develop an expression of constant disdain i guess 🤣

      after posting the theme i was critical of the anthropomorphic assistant in the image, thinking of artists already using industrial bots. This i think is closer to what it will really look like

      except for tinkerers who will probably customize their bots to look like they’re out of old sf
