An introduction to AI art generators: what they are and how they work

Artificial intelligence (AI) art generators have been making waves in the art world, offering a new way for artists and creatives to generate original visual art. But it’s important to recognize that these tools have limitations and are not a replacement for human artists. Here’s a look at some of the limitations of AI art generators and what they can and can’t do.
One of the main limitations of AI art generators is that they are only as good as the data they are trained on. If the dataset used to train the algorithms is biassed or lacks diversity, the generated art will reflect these biases. This can lead to generated art that is lacking in nuance or authenticity.
Another limitation of AI art generators is that they lack the emotional depth and human touch of traditional art. While AI art can be impressive and visually striking, it can lack the emotional resonance and personal connection of art created by a human artist.
It’s also important to note that AI art generators are not a replacement for traditional art-making techniques. While these tools can generate impressive results, they are best used as a starting point for traditional art-making, rather than a replacement for traditional techniques.
In conclusion, AI art generators can be a useful tool for artists and creatives, but it’s important to recognize their limitations. These tools are only as good as the data they are trained on, and can lack the emotional depth and human touch of traditional art. While AI art generators can generate impressive results, they are best used as a starting point for traditional art-making, rather than a replacement for human artists. By keeping these limitations in mind, you can use AI art generators in a way that complements traditional art-making techniques and expands your creative possibilities.

The Hidden Archive: Free Creative Tools, Resources and a New Teleprompter App Over the past few years, I’ve created a slightly ridiculous number of things. Books. Apps. Courses. Music. Videos.

One of the things I’ve wanted to do for a while is create a single place where I can bring more of this work together and make it accessible to people who might find it useful. That place is The Hidden Archive Skool community. The idea is to build a growing library of creative

The Hidden Archive

What is The Hidden Archive? The YouTube channel finally got a rebrand. I realised two years ago that my YouTube page was starting to feel uncurated. The simple truth was that being multidisciplinary, and wanting to explore a wide variety of mediums, had led to a kind of anti-niching. In my own way, I was navigating the principle of correspondence. In creative abstraction terms, that essentially means gaining an understanding of multiple fields and then connecting the dots between them to deepen my understanding of creativity as a whole. That said, I realised that on the surface, this

What Are UFOs?

What Are UFOs and What Do They Say About Humanity? Back in 2024, I went down the rabbit hole of UFOs/ UAPs. It was around the time David Grusch hit the scene and it really did seem like we were going to get disclosure any day. There was an energy around the topic, it felt charged, so much so that I found I could rarely think of much else. I read American Cosmic by Diana Pasulka, picked up Elizondo’s Imminent, watched all the congressional hearings on the topic, and got hooked on AJ’s The Why Files. The whole

The Gnostic Creation Story

Why This Story Is Valuable While researching the Red Book series, I’d occasionally read comments linking Jung’s work to Gnosticism. I was raised by Christians, and although I’m agnostic myself (if I had to put a label on it), I’m still interested in the history of religion and more recently whether the stories hold any value in the modern world. I eventually made my way to an Alex O’Connor video with Bart Erhman where they outlined the core aspects of the Gnostic Creation Story, from the Apocryphon of John. Which then led me to a translation of those
