Generative AI:

Input [March 8, 2024]: “Arduino, industrial, electronic, colorful”

➡︎

Output: Linear Progression

These Generative AI Images make me think about Christopher Nolan’s Inception (2010). In order to successfully perform an inceptive mental heist in the dream world, the team needs to recruit a master architect in the real world to create buildings and city features in order to run a gambit. Some of these features where even three-dimensionally paradoxical like the Penrose Stairs. Like our own dreams our mind is able to create new features in such extreme detail, but there are clearly points where the brain cannot converge on something practical and feel somewhat paradoxical. If you study the progression of each image generation, we start off geometrically cubic and soon become more flat like a normal electronic PCB. The image color palette seems to remain stable and true to the Arduino branding. The background moves from dark to a gradient to a neutral grey. Things seems familiar but nothing is practical (except for maybe the mounting holes). Even the text is fighting for clarity, a machines attempt at communicating with humans. The image creation process is statistical but never feels finite.

There will be another creative revolution in AI as prompt engineering become more of an art and less of a science, much like an architect…
