the other thing that is, or rather could have been, very fun about AI art is the "in the style of" thing. when you type an artist's name, you get to see the defining qualities of that artist's work. you're basically putting everything they've ever done in a blender and seeing what colour it goes. typing "in the style of aubrey beardsley" gives you flowing black lines, bulbous shapes and vaguely art nouveau patterns; "klimt" generates images in gold and green, with pale-faced women and lots of intricate chequered detailing; "kusama" gives you polka dots, obviously, while "mondrian" gives you rectangles. it's neat! it's a cool feature!

...except the other day i saw a guy quizzing an artist on twitter, and it transpired he was trying to figure out what keywords he should input in order to accurately replicate her style using AI. so, lol.

#there's something weird but interesting about putting in an artist's name and getting back a picture which #is not by that artist #but LOOKS like it is #it's usually not a good picture. and if i looked at it for more than a few seconds i'd know it's not an edmund dulac or an egon schiele.#but there's still that confused instant of 'where have i seen that before'#and while that's cool i think it really does emphasise the fact that AI art is all about aesthetics #there's no brain behind it. you can't teach it to think in terms of themes or narratives or symbolism #it makes things that look pretty and that's all it can do

I want to tell a story to the artists and would-be artists out there.

When I was 19, I made a large oil painting of the nerd I would eventually marry. I poured all my attention and care into this painting. It's the only art I have from back then that still holds up as a work I'm proud of today.

I entered it into a judged show at the local art center. It got an honorable mention. I went to see the show with my beloved model. One of the judges came up to talk to me, and highlighted that all the judges really liked the painting. It would have placed, except, you see, the feet were incorrect. They were too wide and short, and if I just studied a bit more anatomy-

I called over my future wife, and asked her to take off her shoe. Being already very used to humoring me, she did. The judge looked at her very short, very wide little foot. Exactly as I'd lovingly rendered it. I would never edit her appearance in any way.

The judge looked me in the eye, and to his credit, he really looked like he meant it when he said "Oh I'm so sorry."

Anyways the moral of the story is that all of those anatomy books that teach you proportions are either showing you averages, or a very specific idea of an idealized body. Actual bodies are much more varied than that.

So don't forget to draw from observation, and remember that humans aren't mass produced mannequins. Delight in our variation. Because it's supposed to be there.
