AI art and artificial intelligence in digital culture

Generative artwork created with artificial intelligence

We are currently living through one of the periods of greatest growth for Artificial Intelligence. AI is unstoppable, strongly impacting advances in the field of artificial intelligence, since practical applications of AI have begun to be used in different industries, such as science, finance, manufacturing, etc.

One of the most famous is called DALL-E, a program that creates images from text descriptions by taking information from what the words mean; the program is able to create images with different art styles that make them look unique.

The application was created by OpenAI, a research and development company working on artificial intelligence that seeks to create “highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at the most economically valuable work and benefit all of humanity”.

Although this first version of DALL-E still produces somewhat imperfect images, the company is already working on DALL-E 2, which promises to deliver photorealistic creations.

This version is capable of allowing the use of people’s faces, and this was not possible until now because there was fear of creating deepfakes that seem so real that they can be used for the purpose of impersonating identities in order to scam.

DALL-E’s AI creates realistic images from any prompt, and its potential could change the Internet for better or for worse, and this is the main uncertainty for many.

AIs grow nonstop; some other examples of these in the field of digital art are:

Don’t hesitate to comment and tell us what you think about DALL-E and all the artificial intelligences that have been created so far.
