Christoph Niemann, in a visual essay about generative AI and art:

…the biggest challenge is that writing an A.I. prompt requires the artist to know what he wants. If only it were that simple.

Creating art is a nonlinear process. I start with a rough goal. But then I head into dead ends and get lost or stuck.

The secret to my process is to be on high alert in this deep jungle for unexpected twists and turns, because this is where a new idea is born.

It’s a fun meditation on the meaning of AI-assisted and AI-generated artwork.
