Activity #72 - AI Our Way

[tinny]

Everyone's talking about AI-generated images, so I've been playing a bit with those tools and found they're quite fun. Of course we're not going to just create finished icons, but how about textures and backgrounds?

The challenge this round is to use an AI to generate a texture, and then work with that texture and make an icon from it - or several, combine them however you like. The theme is completely free and up to you. Let your imagination run wild!

Feel free to share the texture as well as your finished icons, and the prompt text you gave the AI to create the texture, too, if you like. Lets see what we and our AIs can come up with! Play with them a bit, figure out what they do well and what they can't do at all, no matter how specific your prompts are.

Here are three AIs that are completely free to use without registration. They all have a limit - about ten requests per day, but you can get a few fun results out of them even with that.

https://deepai.org/machine-learning-model/text2img (many different styles, but the harshest daily limit)

https://hotpot.ai/art-generator (you can choose from a few different art styles in this one)

https://www.craiyon.com/ (creates nine images in one go, creation takes about a minute)


If you prefer to use other AI generators, you can of course do that, too. I just linked the ones I found that were free to use.

( Here are a few example textures I created using these three )

* Create at least one texture using an AI image generator, then use this texture to make icons
* Every icon you make has to include an AI generated texture (but of course you can modify/blend it however you want)
* You can make as many icons as you like (if you need a goal, five is a good number :))
* There is no minimum, 1 icon is enough to enter this activity
* Please submit your icons (and URLs! and textures? and prompts?) to this post, all in one comment (if possible)
* Everyone can participate, you don't have to be a member of this community

* I will collect all the icons from the comments and make a result post
* Everyone can leave comments on the inspiration and activity result posts
* There is no voting

* This theme is very well suited for discussion. If you want to talk about the uses and ethics of AI image generation, let's do that!

Deadline: Saturday, June 10th 2023, your end-of-day - keeping this round open throughout June
