The Weird and Wonderful World of AI Art (w/ Author Jack Morris)

#aiart #deeplearning #clip

Since the release of CLIP, the world of AI art has seen an unprecedented level of acceleration in what's possible to do. Whereas image generation had previously been mostly in the domain of scientists, now a community of professional artists, researchers, and amateurs are sending around colab notebooks and sharing their creations via social media. How did this happen? What is going on? And where do we go from here? Jack Morris and I attempt to answer some of these questions, following his blog post "The Weird and Wonderful World of AI Art" (linked below).
