AI used to create Ancient India’s magical portraits

Riya Shrivastava – an AI artist, used Artificial Intelligence to create a few portraits of what ancient India might have looked like. In her artwork, beautiful temples, waterfalls, and fireflies create a lucid picture.

Shrivastava explained that she created the portraits using AI at Midjourney, an independent research lab. The mission of Midjourney is to explore new mediums of thought and expand the imaginative powers of the human species.

Shrivastava worked with the AI for 12 hours to create the pieces, which were inspired by the prompt “Ancient India with ornate temples, waterfalls, and fireflies.”

I asked #ai to depict ancient India, and this is what I got! What an incredible experience it was to experiment with prompts and commands until I finally got close to what I imagined, Shrivastava wrote on LinkedIn.

A LinkedIn user inquired about the 12 hours of experimentation, to which Shrivastava responded, experimenting with different variations of the prompt and upscaling them to generate the final images.

Artificial Intelligence has pushed the limits of human imagination. Recently, a YouTuber named Ann Reardon, who runs the channel How To Cook That, devised a cake recipe using an AI and attempted to follow it to achieve the desired results.

Ann used GPT-3, or Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3. Through the algorithmic operation, the AI can generate written texts like articles and poems. This language model, developed by OpenAI, is fed billions of parameters.

Ann attempted to develop a recipe to see if an AI could truly perform as well as humans in various sectors, in this case, food. The first two recipes that spread were completely useless, Ann stated in the video. She went on to say that on the third try, the recipe for a “Super Moist Giant Oreo Cake” spread out.

With ingredients like butter, chocolate, Oreos, morsels, and cake mix, the process produced what looked like a cake but did not feel like one because the texture was quite hard, according to Ann, who added that the cake was not “moist” as the title claimed.

When the cake was tasted, it received positive feedback. Although Ann’s husband and son had difficulty putting the cake on their plates in one piece due to its brittleness, they enjoyed the taste.
