Thoughts about the creative potential of deep neural networks
As with the vignettes created for my book, “AI Vignettes: Chimeras, Wraiths and more”, vignettes for my blog will comprise two components: The first is an image generated by a minimal text prompt to...
As discussed in my blog “Creating AI self-portraits”, a generative neural network can be usefully visualized as a flow of connections cascading through layers of neurons. Below are some such visualizations to give a...
Historically our only image creating entities have been human artists, and their efforts have contributed greatly to our cultural evolution. We now find ourselves at an inflection point where generative AIs such as DALL-E,...
I asked ChatGPT to create a press release for my new book. Here it is, almost verbatim; I only changed two words and one punctuation mark. AI Vignettes: Chimeras, Wraiths and more A Unique...
As noted in my blog “Making vignettes”, I deliberately chose rather abstract and poorly defined actors for my prompts, with the intent of letting the AIs interpret them in a relatively unimpeded way. The...
My current interest in generative AI lies mostly with the ways these deep neural networks interpret and represent the concepts generated by their text prompt inputs. Standard “prompt engineering” practice is to tailor these...
When ChatGPT became available I asked it in early November to write a poem about “strange attractors”, a concept from chaos theory. It generated the following creditably decent poem. (My apologies, WordPress destroys verse...
