AI generated cover art - yay or nay? 5 5

[Sword Master]

The age of AI is here.

Personally I'm not for or against AI generated cover art in the near future. So I'm fine with it. I would actually love to be surprised!

So far AI generated art in other industries have surpassed expectations. 

[theCapraAegagrus]

I would never purchase AI-generated art. I purchase art for human creativity.

I think AI can surpass the best artists, eventually. The stuff I've seen so far is pretty remedial. But imagine that you have 100 trillion random manipulations of one cover theme, and several are stunning. A big difficulty is generating the huge number of random versions, but there are ways to reduce by optimization. The big difficulty I see from a machine learning/optimization perspective, is you have to have a good critic to evaluate through each of the ten trillion iterations or to set an optimization criteria. And that's difficult to do without expertise.

To me, they look terrible.  But it's early days for the AI technology in the art space.

I'm going to try

I'm going to try a different AI image generator with the same input.

[jcjames]

Dang. That's pretty awful. 

Still better than Liefeld though.

The red skirt (kilt?) and glass eyeball are nice touches.  

Actually, they're fun to see, and I'm sure will evolve over time.

I found the "Comic Book" style option for the last two.
