AI image generators represent a fascinating intersection where technology and creativity meet. For content creators, they offer exciting possibilities and practical solutions to some of the challenges faced in producing visual content. While ethical and quality concerns must be carefully navigated, the potential benefits of AI in this space are too significant to ignore. As with any tool, the key lies in how it is used—wisely, ethically, and creatively. What is a content creator? A content creator is someone who makes stuff for people to enjoy online. This could be anything from videos on You ..read more

Art has always been a testament to human ingenuity, a canvas for the soul to express its myriad emotions and ideas. And as we stand on the cusp of a technological revolution, a new kind of artist is emerging, one that is not bound by flesh and bone but coded in algorithms and data sets. Welcome to the era of AI art competitions, where creativity is redefined, and the boundaries of artistic expression are being pushed to unprecedented heights. AI art competitions are rapidly gaining traction, drawing the attention of technologists, artists, and enthusiasts alike. They are taking place all over ..read more

AI: Is it too up Close and Personal? First things first: The notion that AI will “take over” is underlying most conversations about it. Whilst it’s not necessarily building an army of its own robotic chassis and pushing us out into the streets, we are relying heavily on it more and more each day. It begs the question, could human laziness lead to our downfall, or could it create something amazing? Artificial Intelligence is Awesome The world of art is undergoing a fascinating transformation. Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer on the periphery – it’s rapidly becoming a powerful tool for ..read more

It’s been almost two years since Midjourney, Dall-E et al. burst onto the scene. Average internet users were bowled over by the speed at which these platforms could create hugely detailed and impressive images. Digital artists were a little less enthusiastic. Work that would take them many hours was now being spun up in seconds, and to add insult to injury, these platforms had learned how to do it from other artist’s work. Was AI here to replace traditional artists? Let’s explore the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. AI as a creative partner It’s time to make friends with the enemy ..read more

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has gone from comic books and sci-fi movies to permeating numerous aspects of our lives, from healthcare to finance, and now is now steamrolling its way through the art world. AI-generated art is a fascinating blend of technology and creativity, where algorithms and neural networks produce works that can rival those of human artists. But can it ever be truly ethical to hand over control to our robotic overlords? And who owns AI art, if it is based so heavily on the art that real people created before it? As this field grows, it brings with it a host of ethical con ..read more

What is Behind AI in Augmented Reality? Combining AI in Augmented Reality (AR) with generated images makes experiences more realistic and personalised. It’s useful in gaming, education, healthcare, and retail. AI can create dynamic, lifelike content for AR. Despite challenges like real-time processing, new tools and technologies are making it easier.   Understanding Augmented Reality Definition and Types of AR Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that overlays computer-generated images, sounds, or other data onto the real world, enhancing the user’s perception of reality. Here are the m ..read more

Exploring the Role of University AI Detectors University AI detectors are academia’s supposedly “foolproof” method to even the playing field, but they’re not exactly doing the best job. Anyone currently in higher education will have their own opinions on this piece of software, I’m sure. It seems that even those who aren’t using ChatGPT (or any other generator) are being penalised. What Are AI Detectors? AI detectors are AI systems that are trained to recognise a wide array of abnormalities or patterns within video and text. So, depending on your writing style, you could easily be mistaken for ..read more

I think it’s safe to say the majority of us have watched too many movies. There is a distinct connection between the “good vs evil” AI characters written for action-based projects and the reality of the technology we have in front of us. Whilst people could argue, “What if it gets into the wrong hands?” to be honest, you could consider that it already is: The robots haven’t decided to take over just yet. This is a joke. If you’ve watched the news or read from more generalised media outlets, there’s a feeling of uncertainty surrounding most people, as if this is a completely new thing. Most tec ..read more

How can AI-generated images help Charities and non-profits with marketing campaigns? For many small Charities and NFPs, commissioning a photoshoot for a marketing campaign is often way outside the budget scope. As with all non-profits, maximising funds that deliver their offering rather than spending it on effective marketing can be challenging. Enter the virtual photoshoot using AI to generate images for a fraction of the cost.

Food imagery is potentially one of the big wins for AI-generated images. Every food photoshoot results in wasted food, and the bigger the brand, the more likely that the amount of wasted food will increase. Due to the demands of the industry, perfect rather than real images are required for marketing, and this often means that the food used in a photoshoot is inedible afterwards. Whilst responsible photographers are looking into ways not to taint food used in shoots, the pressure to have it looking more appetising than it is in real life can lead to substances such as glue, non-consumable oils ..read more
