What is AI?
Artificial intelligence (AI) is technology which causes computers and machines to simulate human intelligence by making decisions, learning and reasoning as well as creativity through image generation and processing.
It works by using learning algorithms to process and understand huge amounts of data and uses forward and backward chaining to come up with conclusions to answers.
Experimenting with AI on my Anthropocene photos
Neural Filters
With the neural Filters I was able to apply artificially generated filters to the photo which can manipulate factors such as the time of day and the season it is.
Below I experimented by applying neural filters to the Anthropocene photo I took of some tiles in an overgrown field.
Generative Fill
Making the photo I took look more Anthropocene like
I First started by generating dead fish in the water to show the effects sea pollution is having on aquatic wildlife.
It also adds emotion to the photo by seeing the dead fish may make the person looking at the photo feel upset, causing them be more mindful about the impact they are having on the environment.
Afterwards I generated some barrels of oil with oil leaking out of one of them as I wanted to show how dangerous and harmful oil spills are to the ocean and because the red paint in the sea is harmful like how oil in the sea is.
Generative photo expansion
I took this photo of the new developments at the waterfront. I really liked the lighting in the photo, however the top of the building is clipped and you can’t see the whole building.
I used generative AI to expand the photo so now you can see the whole building, however it was struggling to work with the metal sculpture on the right.
However with generative fill I can just select the sculpture and remove it.
I really like the way the photo looks now and it looks so much better than the original photo I took, as the way I positioned the camera in the photo was terrible but AI managed to fix it.
Image Generation
Below are the photos artificial intelligence came up with when I used the prompt Anthropocene in adobe Firefly.
It is interesting to see how Artificial Intelligence understands the topic anthropocene.
Some thoughtful and creative images using AI experimentation appropriately. You have a good understanding of IT Tech and should use that to advantage in your image-making process
