The coming-of-age of AI art raises a number of interesting questions.
, German artist Mario Kinglemann, one of the pioneers of AI art, carefully curated a dataset of thousands of portraits from the 17th to 19th centuries. He then used this dataset to train generative algorithms that could produce an infinite stream of novel portraits sharing similar aesthetic characteristics, displayed in real time on two screens . This is an example of an AI artwork that does not involve output curation.
Another novelty spurred by the recent progress of generative algorithms is the ability to produce images by describing the desired result in natural language. This has come to be known as “prompting,” or guiding the algorithm with text prompts as opposed to sampling random outputs.
In some ways, being able to prompt a generative algorithm with words makes the creative process both easier and more focused. It may reduce the need for the curation of outputs, as one can directly describe one’s vision. However, prompting is not a silver bullet that trivializes artistic creation. It is more akin to a new kind of creative skill. AI researchers even talk about “prompt engineering” to describe the process of crafting good prompts to obtain desired results.
Prompt engineering is more of an art than a science, especially when it comes to creative uses of AI. It has even beento alchemy, or incantation. In addition to having a unique vision for the final products, one must get a feel for the right combination of magic words that will unlock specific styles or subjects with any given algorithm.
As the use of pre-trained algorithms like DALL·E 2 starts to obviate the need for dataset curation, prompt curation offers an alternative way of developing a personal artistic style. Interestingly, it also places images in dialog with text, as traditional museum curation does, although in a less academic and often more poetic format. Like art commentary, prompts can be very literal or very abstract . Either way, prompts impose a novel layer of interpretation on artworks.
