This art painting of an Arab girl under the shade of a tree is not a painting drawn by a human, but entirely drawn by artificial intelligence. In less than a minute, the AI server Maid Journey transformed my script into an original artwork that never existed before.
"Med Journey" is one of the latest models of artificial intelligence, of the type of the so-called text image driven by artificial intelligence, and it has developed greatly in recent months, to fill the drawings made by "Med Journey" Arab and international art pages on social networking sites and raise the eyebrows of artists and programmers .
The BBC team showed another painting created by artificial intelligence called "Dal-E2", to some art dealers in Alserkal Avenue in Dubai. This time the words destined for AI were "a Renaissance painting of a mother feeding her daughter pizza".
The BBC team did not tell survey participants that the work was created by artificial intelligence when asked what they thought of it.
Art dealers did not disagree on whether they considered this painting valuable art or not. They all saw it as an elaborate art. One participant says: "It's great art, it's clearly very well drawn, it's a painting of a mother feeding her daughter." Another says, "It has a story and an artist's feeling." "Made professionally, as it looks," says one artist.
When asked if they would buy it, most said, "Of course." "Sure, some paintings are of such artistry and mastery, a person thinks of owning them." "It can be done, but not at a very high price," said one participant.
And art experts were surprised when we told them that artificial intelligence is the owner of this painting. One participant said, "For AI to create a sense for us is a dangerous development, this is somthing different
The deep dream and the beginning of the artificial intelligence artist
Image-generating artificial intelligence appeared at the turn of the millennium. But its first form of development appeared in the year two thousand and fifteen with the project of Google, which was called "Deep Dream".
The developer of the Deep Dream-Google project, Alexander Mordvinstev, says the idea came to him when he was up one night. "I used a picture of a dog and a cat at first, and the results came out like a hallucinogen."
Alexandra shared the code with his co-workers, who in turn created dozens of surreal cartoons and posted them online. "I've seen people's reaction and they are surprised and wonder what this is."
