What is AI Art and How Does it Work?

What is AI art? Technology meets creativity as we delve into the fascinating world of art generated by artificial intelligence. Learn how AI art works!

Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing a number of industries, and the home decor sector is no exception. With AI-generated images making a stir right across the globe, it’s safe to say we’re at the beginning of a new era in home decoration – one in which AI-generated visual designs play an ever-greater role.

What is AI Art? How Does AI Art Work?

AI art refers to digital artwork produced by artificial intelligence, i.e. using algorithms and techniques from the field of machine learning.

Most AI art generation tools were trained using generative adversarial networks (GANs). These networks have two parts: a generator and a discriminator. The generator creates images based on a set of inputs and the discriminator evaluates the images and provides feedback. Over time, the generator learns to create images that can fool the discriminator into thinking they’re real, resulting in increasingly realistic and high-quality images.

Once a tool has been trained, humans can provide it with “prompts” (task descriptions using natural language), and the AI algorithm generates visual output in response.

Today’s tools also use a technique called “style transfer”, which involves combining the visual style of one image with the content of another. This means users can get amazing results with prompts like “Apply the style of Van Gogh's Starry Night to the New York City skyline.”

The Pros & Cons of AI Art

With today’s leading AI tools like Midjourney, DALL-E, and Stable Diffusion, users can create sophisticated visual designs with an enormous diversity of content and style. The process is also remarkably fast: the tools can achieve very impressive results in just a few minutes.

AI art has the advantage of superb accuracy and consistency. By contrast, art made by humans (digitally or otherwise) is limited by the artistic skill of the individual artist.

And like all digital art, AI-generated art is a lot cheaper to produce than tangible artworks like paintings, simply because you don’t need to buy physical art supplies.

But AI art has several disadvantages to consider too. Many AI models still struggle when it comes to creating realistic images of humans, particularly with regard to the subtle ways that our faces express emotion.

In some cases, the most advanced version of a company’s AI tool is still not readily available to the public. This is the case with Midjourney and DALL-E, for example.

AI Art as Home Decor

The potential of AI visual content is already being used in the interior design world. For many years already, custom print providers have been making personalized wall art and home accessories using their customers’ photos. (This is the service we provide here at CANVASDISCOUNT.)

As AI art gains popularity among the general public, it will be more and more common for users to print digital designs they’ve produced themselves with AI tools.

The low cost, versatility, and novelty of AI-generated art make it a compelling choice for anyone who wants to create some truly unique home decor.
