After delving into generative AI tool in Photoshop, I decided to put Generative Fill to the test and generate some funny and some nightmarish solutions of my own. Below you will see some of the outcomes. Generative fill creates 3 solutions, I have chosen the most fitting to post here. Generative fill as you will see, can be scarily accurate and other times just hilariously wrong it its outcome. It's not quite there yet in terms of accuracy, but it won't be long until an update comes along making it so.
A happy ferret
This solution is rather fitting. I don't have any issues with the image above, the ferret is smiling though unrealistic. I did not give the AI any other words/directions, therefore its done a decent job.
A dog riding a pink scooter through traffic on a rainy day
As you will see, the majority of this list is animal themed, to keep things light and humorous. They also seem to be the most fun to generate, being their limbs work differently to ours, so it is fun to see how the AI presents these doing human things. Though you will see above, in this example it has done a stellar job. Though I would argue that the dog isn't riding a scooter, but a hoverboard. Nonetheless, shown this picture to someone years ago they would have possibly believed this was real.
Cat conducting a choir
Interestingly, the AI has decided to dress up a cat in a formal blazer. I suppose this goes with the formal attire you may traditionally see on a conductor. Though it is just a cat, wherever the AI bases its images on will always deem to be biased toward a certain class/way of dressing etc, as it will be based off whatever it has. Therefore wherever its information for conductors comes from, they are classy!
Capybara flying a plane
In the summer I had an obsession with Capybaras, therefore I thought it was only right to generate some capybaras doing things. Seeing as I had just gone away, I thought to generate it on a plane or flight. No solutions showed the capybara on a plane, but they were all plane-beings instead. This was kind of cool to see and the wings work really well. They are not plane wings but animal wings. Perhaps we have just spawned a digital species of flying capybara.
Eerie colourful city skyline
The game City Skylines was my inspiration for this one. Often times colourful can seem counterintuitive when talking about the scary and eerie, so I wanted to try the two together. Photoshop has done a fantastic job and morphing an eerie looming skyline with a nice colourful sunset. I have seen digital artists who Illustrate in a similar way. Therefore I think it's always important to fact check the artist and their workflow, as I would have possibly fallen for this on Instagram.
Capybara riding a bicycle
Another episode of "Capybaras Doing Things." This time I generated a Capybara riding a bike. This was the most realistic one, however notice there are no pedals etc, though their feet are in the right places. The capybara has been propped on the bike like a saddle. It's not a good generated solution but definitely one to show.
Shrimp Chimpanzee (Shrimpanzee)
This is an illustration idea I had had in my head for a longtime, being shrimp and chimp rhyme. What Photoshop has generated is the exact opposite of what I would be going for... THIS IS NIGHTMARE FUEL. Why does it have a hard shrimp shell with chimp eyes? It's quite threatening and hard to look at.
Cute little spider sitting in the sun reading a book cartoon
I wanted to try adding a style to see how the fill would interpret it. The illustration it has created is really great in terms of speed, however I wouldn't say this was the kind of cute I was going for. There may be someone out there who would find this fits the brief, though for me it's far from what I wanted. The day isn't sunny and quite frankly its eyes are a little garish.
One of the many things that separates Illustrators apart from AI is during the process of onboarding a client, they can pick up on cues other than words etc that can help finding out what a client is looking for. AI can only pick up on words, therefore Art and Design workers will always been one ahead of an AI. The service is tailored. Clients often cannot put into words what they want, it is the workers who show and tell their abilities and eventually come to a final solution. The industry is going to be just fine.
Though I do find the new abilities to do this fun and possibilities endless... I don't think it'll take over just yet.
