An artificial intelligence system that has recently caught the spotlight for numerous reasons has been asked to produce images of real-life iconic (偶像的) cartoon characters.
The artificial intelligence that was requested to produce the images is called Midjourney which is an AI program that is designed to produce images from textual descriptions. The tool recently went into open in July and has since grown in popularity as users are able to enter descriptions of whatever they can think of to produce a completely unique image. Midjourney is extremely impressive, as I have personally used it to generate several wallpaper images for my desktop.
The AI system is capable of recognizing specific words such as 4K, real-life, cartoon, high detail and more. Using these words and more, you can write a prompt (提示符) such as: Portrait image of Rick Sanchez from Rick and Morty in real life. Taking this principle of being able to request basically whatever you want, one, Midjourney, user decided to create an award-winning image and enter it into an art competition undisclosed (秘密的) of its creation process.
Jason Allen, a board game director, spent weeks improving the prompt that he was entering into Midjourney and eventually generated three images that he was happy with.
Allen entered the Al-generated images in the Digital Art category at Colorado State Fair under his own name along with “via Midjourney”. Allen won first place and used the opportunity to make a statement about AI art being accepted among the community, saying, “Is it common for artists to explain their process just for the sake of clarification? Are they judging the art or the method by which it was created?”
