What initially started as a cool new trick, or a ‘cheat’ as you might say,
really made me think about how to balance the use of this technology.
If money was infinitely available to all, would it be important?
If we were immortal, would our lives have meaning?
If anything is too easy, then what is the point of doing it?
In the end, I’ve managed to strip back the technology and use it to my advantage whilst simultaneously putting my heart and soul into it. Weeks of work and late nights have gone into the creation of this project, and what I have learnt is that us artists are what make the work unique.
No machine will be able to create what we create without our guidance and input.
The results of the AI are fascinating, but they seem more so as simply cool effects. They are lacking essence, lacking soul, lacking the artist that makes it what it is.
I have a reignited desire to grab paintbrushes and to learn in those traditional mediums that have always fascinated and inspired me, but I am also excited about the prospects of the future of technology in art and the endless possibilities it has created.
