  2. AI Art Is Making Digital Artists Embrace Imperfections Here’s How 

    Image credit: Future The backlash against AI art is real and visceral, but human artists can be caught in the crossfire for having art that ‘looks like AI’ – glossy, hyper-detailed, suspiciously perfect images do have the whiff of AI, but they can also be made by a human because, for many years, that was a standard some digital artists wanted to meet. The AI art backlash is actually creating a moment for reflection and opportunity to try new things, because the techniques that are […]

    Hello

    If this is your first visit, welcome to Musings. Today I am musing about internet shopping. If you have been here before, welcome back. Over time we are going to talk about many things: the past, the present, perhaps the future, travel,

    Shopping

    Night Shopping

    Today, I am thinking about shopping. That used to be a real pleasure.

    For recreation, I would go to a mall and just wander around, looking at the shops and the people, and enjoying myself. I don’t do that any longer.

    The malls, for some reason, have lost their appeal. The last time I really went shopping, to get something as a present for my wife, I walked around the entire mall, looked at every store, and there wasn’t anything that said “Buy me!”

    What has changed? Ta-da! It’s the internet.

    Sitting at home in our comfy chair, we can browse for hours through endless ideas of things to buy. They arrive, sometimes the same day, but, at least overnight, without our ever having to leave the house.

    Why drive down to a store, taking time and using gas, when you can order something on the computer for a cheaper price than the store would ask, and it shows up at your house?

    When Amazon arrived on the scene I thought it would never succeed. I also worried about the small store owners who had to compete with it.

    Today, I tell you, I have surrendered. More options, less cost, convenient . . . what more can you ask?

    It seems China, Viet Nam and Korea have become the merchants of the masses.

    Last month, I was on the internet looking at men’s slacks. I came across slacks that were quite stylish and were made of a very light fabric, which.dries quickly. That’s perfect for the Florida climate.They had my size, which sometimes can be a problem, and they were inexpensive. A great buy. So, I ordered a couple pair.

    I was quite pleased when they arrived. They were very good-looking, they were lightweight, and they fit. Everything was fine until I went to put my wallet in the back pocket, and I found out there were no back pockets. There was a little flap that looked like it was a back pocket, but it was just decorative.

    No back pockets? Who would want pants with no back pockets?Back pockets are pretty important to a guy. We don’t have purses, so we normally have our phone back there, our wallet, and a comb. In our front pockets, we carry our car keys, house key, maybe a money clip.

    So, lacking back pockets, I put all these items in the front pockets, which then looked like I was walking around carrying grapefruit or bowling balls in my pants. Not a good look. My satisfaction with the Slacks was somewhat diminished.

    Sometime later, I was back on the internet, and I came across another attractive set of slacks that were lightweight. The advertisement for them mentioned, as a selling point, that they had back pockets. Terrific.

    I ordered two pairs, a white one and a beige one.When they arrived, I was quick to put them on. They looked terrific. They fit well. Everything was good. Everything was good until I went to take a pee, and then I discovered: no fly.

  11. Art Creation and AI: Embracing Digital Tools


    Hello

    If this is your first visit, welcome to Musings. Today I am musing about making art with a computer. If you have been here before, welcome back. Over time we are going to talk about many things: the past, the present, perhaps the future, travel,

    The Act of Creation

    Today, there’s a great deal of discussion about artificial intelligence (AI) as it applies to art creation. Artists are afraid that their art will be copied and modified using a machine powered by artificial intelligence and presented as original art work .

    That does not mean, however, that art done using a machine, a computer, is not legitimate. The difference is in the creative process.

    I have a friend, a very accomplished composer, whose music I listen to almost daily on YouTube. He has done movie scores, symphonies and has been recognized internationally for his symphonic music. He uses a digital synthesizer to create his work. Although it’s done with a computer, his are definitely original compositions.

    The same thing happens with the visual arts. There are many specialized software programs that creators can use in producing their artwork. I use a program called Painter2023. It’s like having an entire art studio at my disposal.

    Let me show you. This screen is used to select a brush.

    Screenshot

    The column on the left shows a list of brushes available. There are quite a few, in fact, there are hundreds. And the next column over allows the artist to pick the working characteristic of the brush chosen.

    Brushes are just one small part of the process. There are surfaces (paper, canvas, wood etc) and textures and mediums (acrylic, oil, watercolor, chalk, etc) and more. This is a very complicated program.

    Mostly my work is created with traditional medium: paints, paper, canvas, and brushes. But from time to time, I do produce work in the computer. And once it’s finished, I have the option, if I’m pleased with it, to have it printed on paper or canvas.

    My Work

    What follows is a piece that I created in the computer as a demonstration. The work is done on layers. Think of sheets of transparent paper, one over the other. This gives me the ability to turn off a layer to see what happens if I don’t like what’s on it, or to stack them in a different order, which changes the nature of the composition.

    Below is a composition, “Lilies in a Glass.” “I’ll show you a series of stages that it went through, so you get a sense of how that works.

    Lillies In A Glass

    And, there you have it: Art created in the computer.
