AI Art Experiment: 3 Prompts, 5 Artists

What if Vincent Van Gogh painted a robot koala? Showcasing the impact of the "artist" tag on text-to-art images.

In case it wasn’t abundantly clear before, I’m not a great artist. Or, you know, an artist.

But I know the names of several artists, and that’ll be enough for what we’re doing today.

Let’s run a little experiment to see how different “artist” tags alter the look of AI-generated images.

Here’s what we’ll do:

1. Create base images for three major types of painting:

   1. Landscape

   2. Portrait

   3. Still life

2. Use the names of the following five artists to alter our base images:

   • Thomas Kinkade

   • Vincent Van Gogh

   • Leonid Afremov

   • Claude Monet

   • Frida Kahlo

3. Enjoy all the pretty AI art!

I want to test just how much of an impact changing the artist has while keeping everything else fixed.

If you’re curious about the process, there’s a “Methodology” section at the very end.

If you just want to watch artificial intelligence do some painting, let’s go!

Base images

I wanted our base images to be unconventional in their own right.

I also wanted t…
