How I Enhance Descriptions with a bit of AI

Artificial Intelligence can be useful as an aid to marketing photographs in a gallery.

I have appreciated the AI generated keywords and descriptions that have been added to FineArtAmerica.com‘s upload process. It does a, surprisingly, decent job of identifying what is in the image. I use that AI-generated content as a starting place, but I almost always add a location (which the AI cannot determine) and a couple of other details, I do that because it is the description (content) that is indexed by the largest search engines, Google and Bing.

An example…
I recently uploaded an image of a Margarita that I had ordered at a restaurant. It was one of my “52 Week Challenge” (indoor) images. Here is the way I expanded the auto-generated content.

FAA’s AI content: A refreshing cocktail is elegantly presented in a curvy glass, garnished with a lime wedge and a black straw. Soft, warm lighting highlights the drink’s vibrant yellow hue, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

With my basic addition: A refreshing Margarita cocktail at the Sea Captain’s House in Myrtle Beach, SC is elegantly presented in a curvy glass, garnished with a lime wedge and a black straw. Soft, warm lighting highlights the drink’s vibrant yellow hue, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

The Margarita at Sea Captain’s House was pretty good.

Then I used the “Content Expander” at WordHero.co, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) service to which I subscribe. I fed in the description with my addition, and this is resulting description that I used with the photograph in my gallery:

“At the Sea Captain’s House in Myrtle Beach, SC, the Margarita cocktail is a delightful treat that promises to refresh your senses. This classic drink is served in an elegantly curvy glass, perfectly designed to enhance the enjoyment of every sip.

A fresh lime wedge perches on the rim, ready to add an extra zing to your cocktail experience. A sleek black straw completes the presentation, inviting you to dive into the vibrant flavors that await.

The drink’s brilliant yellow hue glows warmly under the restaurant’s soft lighting, creating a cozy and inviting ambiance. The atmosphere is perfect for unwinding and enjoying the moment.

Every detail of this Margarita is crafted to bring joy, from its presentation to its refreshing taste. It’s not just a drink; it’s a little piece of happiness in a glass.”

Artificial Intelligence Art Imagery

What is the impact of computer-generated and ai imagery on contemporary art?

Yes, I scored the domain, aiArtImagery.com, to support my foray into the world of artworks created with the use of Artificial Intelligence software algorithms and/or websites offering such services. Computer Generated Images (CGI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have been in use for a (relatively) long time. We are used to seeing CGI in major motion pictures like Jurassic Park and Star Wars. However, the concept of creating art with Artificial Intelligence by describing, in text, what the desired outcome should be had become somewhat of a buzz-word topic these days.

Computer Generated Imagery (CGI)

Computer-generated imagery (CGI) has had a significant impact on contemporary art. The use of technology in art has allowed artists to create images and animations that were previously impossible to create with traditional methods. CGI has also changed the way that artists create and think about their work, as well as the way that audiences experience and interact with art.

One of the key benefits of CGI in art is that it allows for greater experimentation and exploration. Artists can now create images and animations that are incredibly detailed, complex, and intricate. They can also manipulate and distort reality in new and interesting ways. This has led to the creation of new art forms, such as digital painting and virtual reality installations.

Another impact of CGI on contemporary art is that it has made it more accessible. With the widespread use of computers and digital tools, many more people are now able to create and share their work with a wider audience. This has resulted in a democratization of the art world and has allowed for a wider range of perspectives and voices to be heard.

Finally, CGI has also changed the way that art is experienced and consumed. With the increasing use of digital devices, audiences are now able to engage with art in new and interactive ways. For example, virtual reality installations allow viewers to enter and explore a digital world, while augmented reality apps allow them to experience art in a new and interactive way.

Overall, the impact of CGI on contemporary art has been profound. It has opened up new possibilities for artists, made art more accessible, and changed the way that audiences experience and interact with art.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Imagery

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been increasingly used in the creation of images and other forms of visual art, and its impact on contemporary art has been significant.

One of the main impacts of AI-generated imagery is that it has opened up new possibilities for artists to experiment and create in ways that were previously not possible. For example, AI algorithms can generate new images or animations based on a set of inputs or parameters, allowing artists to create complex and intricate works that would be difficult or impossible to produce manually.

Another impact of AI on contemporary art is that it has changed the way that art is created and experienced. AI algorithms can create images that are indistinguishable from those made by human artists, leading to debates about the nature of creativity and authorship in the digital age. AI also has the potential to change the way that audiences experience art, by enabling the creation of immersive and interactive experiences that respond to a viewer’s actions.

Finally, AI has also had an impact on the way that art is consumed and distributed. With the increasing use of digital devices and online platforms, AI-generated images and animations can be easily shared and viewed by a global audience, leading to new and diverse forms of artistic expression.

In conclusion, AI has already begun to have a profound impact on contemporary art and it is likely that this will continue to evolve and grow in the future. As AI technologies advance and become more accessible, they will continue to open up new avenues for artistic exploration and expression.

Change has always been upon us.

Like it or not, we are always experiencing change in one form or another. CGI and AI in art is no exception.

I have been exploring this “new fangled” approach to creating images and have started a small online gallery among the good people at Fine Art America. The two images above are, of course available as wall art and on a variety of home decor items. Click an image above or a link below.
