Real or AI?

What's genuine and what's not? In a previous post, I showcased Moira's studio, featuring my artwork. But the setup is quite impressive, isn't it? It might make you wonder how I managed this level of “wow” with only four 50x80cm shelves to work with. Surprisingly spacious, right? What may surprise you is that I harnessed Adobe Photoshop's AI generation tool for this.

Can you venture a guess about how much of the content is AI-generated?

If you guessed "most of it," you're absolutely correct.

It wasn't a matter of just opening the program, typing in "art studio," and having it all magically appear. I had to painstakingly add in each element—like generating the proper window, the desk, and every single shelf with plants —one by one.

Creating this scene took approximately two hours, probably because I don’t know what I’m doing and the program is in beta. Then came the task of replacing the blank canvases I'd generated with my actual art. For those who might have missed my last post, the artwork showcased is genuinely mine; there's no borrowing or stealing involved.

Dealing with limited space myself, I see the potential in this tool. It's not flawless; it demands effort, and it's far from perfect, yet the outcomes I've achieved thus far are quite satisfying. For instance, take a look at Moira and Socks:

I've been attempting to construct a miniature barn to fit snugly in my shelving unit for over a year now, and my efforts have been nothing short of frustrating. The limited space only compounds my irritation. I'm fully aware that it won't seamlessly integrate with every picture, but it's reassuring to have this tool at my disposal. I won't question its usefulness; after all, I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth.

Wishing everyone a fantastic weekend.
