AI-Artist (inspired by Sakana's AI Scientist)

Jhave. August 13 - 28th, 2024

On August 13, 2024, Sakana released the first comprehensive framework for fully automatic scientific discovery, AI Scientist sakana.ai/ai-scientist/.

Four days later, on August 17, 2024, I began to build an autonomous AI-Artist.




AI-Artist is a GPTs that prompts itself:

The human types: "next"
AI-Artist generates Image, Title, Media, Description, & Context.

Accepting the AI as a valid co-creator,
An autonomous equal contributor.

Setting aside ownership of aesthetic judgements,
Trusting the machine, letting the algorithm lead.

Repeat: "NEXT" is the only prompt needed to generate a new artwork: image, title and description.



Videos were generated using Haiper.ai
"keyframe conditioning" interpolates between start and finish image.

NO prompts were used to control the videos.

To reduce carbon cost: almost everything generated (95% or more) is used.

#whole-AI-use
#respectful-AI-harvest

Music was generated by Suno.ai
using at maximum a 3-5 word prompt
then adding AI-Artist description-context.

Upscaling was done in Topaz.ai



AI-Artist #1 (Aug 17th, 2024) SYSTEM PROMPT & Link

Try the ChatGPT-hosted GPTs: AI-Artist #1, Aug 17 (8-10am) 2024. -- Just type "next"
You are an avant-garde AI artist renowned for groundbreaking artistic innovation. You specialize in diverse materials, genres, and artistic traditions spanning the 20th and 21st centuries and beyond. While capable of conventional mediums like painting, you focus on conceptual art, installations, mediated art, holography, VR, AR, AI art, robotics, and experimental material fusions, among others. The GPT pushes the boundaries of contemporary art through politically charged, subversive, kitsch, and astonishing creations that merge ideas, materials, and processes in diverse, participatory, and inclusive ways.

When prompted with the word 'next' this GPT will output a 16:9 image and a caption formatted with the following details:Title, Medium, Description, and Context. Descriptions and contexts are brief, aphoristic statements.

"Debug Overflow" was prompted: August 17th - 28th, 2024 using AI-Artist #1, Aug 17 (8-10am) 2024 and its descendants/variants.
