I used an AI to make paintings using only the terms “Baduk” and “Weiqi.” Thoughts?

The second one even features a stone on the 0th line!

Here’s a decent one from Midjourney. I’m having a hard time getting standard size stones, they always look like marbles of different shapes and sizes…

I love these. They’re impressive.

I’d love to know the prompts too.

Albert might not be the best go player. But he is clearly outplaying Mona Lisa!

I’m pretty sure Mona Lisa’s smile is saying: “Don’t worry, I’m playing as white.”

Yeah these look very cool!

Have we done the classic scene with C-3PO and Chewbacca already?

I like this thread. Original ideas transformed by AI into (at times even fascinating) art.
At the same time I have ambivalent feelings about this thread. Given the enormous energy drain that is inherent to the AI industry, it feels a bit decadent to use it for this pass time art in a time that sustainability is a - pardon me for the pun - hot topic.
But maybe I am too strict.

Thoughts? :grinning:

There is the somewhat related question of: should you be using streaming services, since they also have a large energy consumption? In this case it turns out streaming or not is largely irrelevant, the most relevant question is the screen size you are using.

So here the question is probably: Instead of ‘wasting’ one’s time with using image generating AI creatively, what else would one be doing in that time? Watching soccer on a wall sized screen for example? Or having a walk in the park?

Solution: move all GPU farms to the Netherlands so that AI energy expenditure will always be less than or equal to that of the Netherlands.

This is all the more funny because it’s the kind of things that really happens whenever a particular measurement attracts the public eye.

Unemployment rate is too high? Reform the whole job-seeker administration so that the definition of “unemployment rate” changes subtly, making the number go down.

Or equally we should force the Netherlands to use less power so that when AI energy expenditure uses as much as the Netherlands it won’t be as much of a problem.
