Getting started with AI Art
Introduction
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a form of technology that enables machines to perform tasks that would normally require human intelligence and skills. It has been used for many years to forecast weather, find the most efficient route home, predict trends in the stock market, and much more. But recently a new type of AI is trending — one that can generate art using text prompts. The process is quite simple, the user needs to provide a description of the desired artwork and the AI can generate an image that matches the description.
While the process is simple, the execution is another story due to two reasons, firstly we need a good AI Art model (and it comes with its own complexities) and secondly, we need to provide clear prompts to the model. In this article, we will first discuss these two fundamentals that any AI Art aspirants should know about, i.e. model engineering (history of AI Art models and how to set them up) and prompt engineering (how to communicate with AI Art models). If this sounds confusing, complicated, and too technical, then don’t worry as I will also discuss CF Spark which takes care of all complexities so that anyone can create their own artwork easily.
