AI-generated images: Is this the future of art?

by

Dictionary definitions of “art” are many and varied, but for people of a certain age – let’s say around 60 – art used to mean paintings and sculptures… pretty much exclusively.

But over those 60 years – starting around 30 years ago – art started to mean different things, although those “different” artistic expressions still often incorporated the traditional modes of expression – painting and sculpting.

One of those “different” things that came to constitute art was “installation art”, which is usually a relatively large-scale work – taking up one whole gallery room or more. Installation art uses mixed media to create an immersive experience for people to walk through and perhaps interact with or even be an essential part of.

The Rise of Generative AI: Revolutionizing Content Creation and the Role of AI Detectors

by

In recent years, Generative AI has emerged as one of the most exciting and transformative fields in artificial intelligence.

From creating highly realistic images to generating coherent and insightful text, generative AI has rapidly evolved to change the way we interact with technology, consume media, and even make decisions.

While the advancements in this technology hold tremendous potential, they also present new challenges, particularly in ensuring authenticity, accuracy, and ethical use. [Read more…] about The Rise of Generative AI: Revolutionizing Content Creation and the Role of AI Detectors

Should You Use AI-Generated Images for Your Website?

by

In the last couple of years, generative artificial intelligence has been making waves. It’s able to create unique content, images, and other media in a way never possible before.

Instead of spending thousands of dollars setting up an elaborate photo shoot, you can now use AI to create beautiful images in a matter of minutes. The question is, though, should you?

If you speak to creative professionals, AI is “borrowing” styles from existing work online. There is a wide debate about whether or not this constitutes copyright infringement or not. [Read more…] about Should You Use AI-Generated Images for Your Website?

How 3D Rendering Services are Transforming and Progressing Industries

by

A 3D rendering service can take your designs and turn them into 3D renders. This may not seem impressive when can probably render your own 3D models on your computer.

However, if your model has many intricate parts, if it is highly detailed, or even if it is a model with many layers and features, it can take quite a while for your computer to create the model.

This is especially true if there is lots of detail on the model and lots of calculations that need to be done. Added to which, your company may require several thousand renders take place per day. If this is the case, then hiring an outside company to do your 3D rendering is downright essential. [Read more…] about How 3D Rendering Services are Transforming and Progressing Industries
