AI: enemy or friend? Artificial intelligence surrounds us everywhere today, from search engines to satellites, transport management systems and security cameras with facial recognition systems. Everything connected to the global network somehow contains a piece of AI. In the creative field, artificial intelligence appeared relatively recently, only a few years ago, but immediately made (and continues to make) a sensation. Today you can ask AI to compose the text of a presentation, sketch out a plan for learning a foreign language, prepare for an interview, draw art, or even do a thesis. Without a doubt, AI will continue to develop and will very quickly enter our lives on a permanent basis and firmly settle there. Therefore, there is no point in running away and refusing to accept this fact. The best thing to do is to be among those who can be the first to learn new skills and get the most out of them. For an artist, AI can be a source of inspiration, an endless base of unique references, a field for experimentation, and so on. Don't waste a minute, try it soon, and I'm sure you'll like it!
5 useful AI-based services Today I will share with you my favorite AI services that speed up my workflow.
- Clipdrop is a service for working with images, as well as for generating AI images. Allows you to remove or add a background, remove an extra object, crop and upscale an image, change the light source, add or remove text and watermarks, and much more. The service is available in free trial mode with a small number of generations.
- Photoroom - a service for quickly removing the background from an image without losing quality. This is the main and most valuable function for me, but far from the only one.
- PlaygroundAI - a service for generating and correcting images. Lots of settings and filters will help you create the perfect drawing, and the number of free generations (500 per day) gives you the opportunity to have fun.
- Fusion Brain (Kandinsky) - a service for generating images. With some skill it produces excellent results. You can generate an unlimited number of images and animations for free.
- Gigapixel AI - a service for working with low-quality images. Allows you to significantly improve blurry or pixelated images and photos. Paid (or with a watermark).
Why the smoke? I am often asked this question. The answer is simple. I love bright colors and try to incorporate them into my art as much as possible. And the smoke creates an atmosphere of mystery. This way I dilute the gray routine with bright colors, and I hope, looking at my art, you will smile and feel a surge of joy :)
