PDF-based eBook featuring images and text by and about AI.

The Intelligence is Artificial is a bold exploration of the limitations and capabilities of AI image generation. In seeking to discover how AI might enhance rather than replace human creativity in this early phase of its emergence, The Intelligence is Artificial goes where most current books on AI art do not, with experimentation with the technology itself. The book features more than 200 AI-generated images created by the author, many of which include the prompts he wrote while testing various platforms, offering the reader insights into the kaleidoscopic potential of AI image generation and its ability to produce images in virtually any genre or style imaginable. The book’s artistry is interwoven and strategically juxtaposed with discussions of some of the most common concerns and criticisms surrounding AI imagery. Key issues addressed here include, but are not limited to:

·       Can and should AI imagery be considered an authentic media in Art?

·       What IS AI image generation at its core? How does it work, and how much control do humans have over the outcomes it produces?

·        What are the main issues being debated about copyright laws, both in the training of AI platforms and the creation of AI artworks?

·       What are the ethical concerns regarding the use of AI imagery in commercial, artistic, and documentary work?”

·       What is “implicit bias,” and how does this affect the way various AI platforms—both textual and visual-- decide what they will or will not produce, according to the prompts given?

·       Is there such a thing as “AI Photography?” (spoiler alert—there’s not, and this book explains why, with visual examples and detailed analysis).

·       Why and how are some artists-- and even photojournalists-- turning to AI to realize their creative visions?

·       How can AI text and images be responsibly used by educators and students?

·       How can AI imagery be used as a tool of graphic design?

·       What about the glitches and mistakes that often appear? What causes them, and how do they sometimes add an interesting “element of surprise” to the image?

Whether you are a practicing artist or photographer who is curious, and perhaps even skeptical about AI image generation, a high school or college educator looking for a definitive, authoritative guide, or just someone who has a general interest in this subject, The Intelligence is Artificial is a beautifully illustrated, comprehensive blend of visual and textual examples and information.
