Riya Shrivastava, an AI artist, used Artificial Intelligence to create portraits of what ancient India might have looked like. She used brightly colored temples, waterfalls, and fireflies to create a beautiful picture. Shrivastava said she created the portraits at Midjourney, an independent research lab. Midjourney’s purpose is to “explore new mediums of thought and expand the imaginative powers of the human species.” Shrivastava experimented for 12 hours with AI to create the pieces.
I asked artificial intelligence what ancient India would have looked like, which is what it gave me. It was amazing to experiment with prompts and commands to finally get close to what I imagined.
“I asked #ai what ancient India would’ve looked like and this is what I got! What an amazing experience it was to experiment with prompts and commands to finally get close to what I imagined,” Shrivastava wrote in her LinkedIn post.
A LinkedIn user asked Shrivastava what the 12 hours of experimentation involved, to which she replied, “experimenting with different variations of the prompt and upscaling them to generate the final images.”
Artificial Intelligence has been helping people to imagine things that were once thought impossible. Recently, a YouTube channel called “How to Cook That” used an AI to create a cake recipe. The AI, called GPT-3, is able to generate written texts, such as articles and poems. This language model is fed billions of parameters, which makes it able to create recipes that look very realistic.
Ann tried to develop a recipe for food, and found that her first two recipes were not very good. However, on the third attempt, she found a recipe for a “Super Moist Giant Oreo Cake.” This means that her AI can perform as well as humans in this area.
Ann said that when she mixed together the ingredients for the cake, it resulted in a cake that was hard to chew and did not feel like it was moist. She also said that the cake was not what she would have called “moist” because it was not very soft.
