Brainstorm #1 for Project #1

As of now, I am just really trying to have as much fun with AI as possible. I am generating many random animal pictures that I will eventually put through the glitch program. I have been trying to come up with searches that produce somewhat realistic and uncanny images of animals doing everyday human activities (for example: a horse grocery shopping). I have been using particular keywords to achieve the aesthetics I want (claymation/photo of… etc.) I have also been using the random poem and lyric generators to develop keywords/concepts to pass through the AI. I have primarily been using DALL-E 2 as I am most familiar with it and like the look of the images it produces. For further explorations, I want to try some more programs, particularly Midjounrey, because it has such a unique aesthetic. I think for the final project, I am going to continue on this theme of uncanny animals and maybe aim to make some sort of collage from several of the images, but the idea is still very much in the works. It has been a really awesome exercise working with these AIs more intentionally because I feel as though I am simultaneously flushing out ideas that have been confined to my brain for a while.
