Midjourney: A painting drawn by AI that won a traditional art competition

AI image generators are popular these days. As you type the words, it creates an image. Recently, CNN reported that 'Theatre D'opera Spatial', a work produced by AI, by Jason M. Allen, a game planner, in the digital art category of the 'Colorado State Fair Art Contest' in the United States was ranked first. It's amazing how different styles of images can be drawn according to the written words, rather than taking them out according to a pre-prepared frame. Although it lacks detail, it produces an image that is close to what was intended.

It seems that image production, which was thought to be difficult to increase efficiency, will be able to be made much faster. I thought that choosing colors and arranging layouts were still difficult to solve with technology, but as technology develops at this rate, it seems that anyone can easily use visual arrangements and expressions. Just as the realm of simple visualization has gradually expanded, it seems that both the lower and upper limits of the expressive power required of designers and creators will increase. There are several AI image sites, but try Mid Journey, which shows the best quality for free. (Dall e 2 is of great quality, but it's not yet available to everyone for free. Stay tuned if you're interested!)
