AI update to Van Gogh's Starry Night

[Owen Lucas]

Adobe Photoshop has a new feature (Firefly) where you can expand an image with generative content created by AI.

Here is Starry Night and what Firefly does when asked to expand the frame. Rarely does technology impress me anymore but this is one of those examples:

Interesting.

Speaking of generative AI, we were recently at the Stockholm National Museum of Science and Technology. On display there they have "The Impossible Statue," a sculpture created by AI after it was trained by studying the art of Michelangelo, Rodin, Käthe Kollwitz, Takamura Kotaro, and Augusta Savage.

The Impossible Statue was designed with generative A.I. and is currently on display in Stockholm’s Science and Technology Museum.

Sculpture by Committee?

Thanks for posting. Did you see the Millesgorten?

Why did the AI add a windmill?

Why did the AI add a windmill?

It's the other way around. The expanded frame is first, the windmill is in the original. That "got me" for a few minutes too.
Ohhhhh nooooo I am wrong ... yeah ... why was the windmill added?
Im confused ... but ... I tend to do that to myself sometimes *LOL*

Ok, I get it now, "expand the frame" means draw more into the original "expand" the image to include more. AI thought a windmill would be a nice addition.

Someday AI will hypnotize the human race and we will all be drones of the machine.

I was perplexed by that as well. There is a prompt where I can ask firefly to add additional context or what to do when additional area is added to the original image. I could write “add an airplane next to the moon “ but I simply wrote one word, expand. Interesting result.

Yes, it basically means "zoom out."

I am "impressed" by how awful it is as art, though I guess adequate as a general image field expansion.

I don't know what would be worse, teh addition of a cell tower or this Modern windmill on a non-existent power grid

That fake copy is no good. Not impressed.
