Experiments in indigenizing the future with Woodland A.I. (Anishanabe intelligence) part: 1

 

Good evening to each and everyone and I sure hope all is going good in your lives. Just working on some new ideas and concepts with Chat GPT. I find it much better than Meta A.I. It’s actually quite surprising how A.I. struggles with the simplicity of the woodland art form. Sometimes I have to do several image prompts just to get it looking right. The nuances with a.i. are actually quite astonishing and even at times very frustrating. I have to rework the prompt like 10 to 20 times. I’ll explain this a little more with the next article I’ll write in part: 2 this morning while I finish off a 30 x 40 inch canvas throughout the early morning hours. Take for example the above original dyptich paintings I’m using for this study and experimental approach: 

Amy how the idea was to play around with my original works and see how A.I. would interpret and comprehend. It definitely struggles with just regular woodland style. Even when you give it precise commands to execute with incredible detail in the writing of the prompt, it still does things on its own. Like it can’t help itself with adding something to the original layouts of my own art. It can be challenging and you have to remain patient in trying to get it right as how you envision it using the technology. 

Example #’1 done in pure A.I. 

Example # 2 done in pure A.I. 

Example # 3 done in pure A.I. when asked to elaborate 

Example # 4 done when asking A.I to feel inspired from previous image prompts

No question it’s a total experiment regarding what I am doing here with this process. I enjoy trying to figure these concepts out and to be apart of the whole creative and innovative experience. A.I. has its strengths and its weaknesses. It’s still such a new technology and will only get better as it grows. I don’t weigh too heavily on the darker potentials as none of us can really know that at this point. People can try to predict and speculate but I think we’ll know more in the next 36 months. It’s already creating its own coding and languages that no human being on earth can understand. What that means? No one knows for sure. We will have to wait and see…

I’ll show you these last examples where I did several versions of this A.I. image prompt and used my Woodland A.I. original painting as the reference. I chose this painting titled: I am Woodland A.I. - I am Rainbow Thunderbird: 

The original painting being used as reference for A.I. 


Here is what A.I. did after about 6 tries. Like I mentioned it really does have its own nuances and thinks on its own regarding what it will choose to do even after refining the wording in the prompt itself. It is pushing the envelope like no other ever has in the woodland school. I definitely feel good about that and I’m excited to build this whole new indigenous art genre in Woodland A.I. I have literally broken away from the rest and have made my own blueprint into the vastness of the future. Regular woodland just doesn’t cut it for me anymore, not like this. I have created a whole new visionary language and it will only continue to grow from here. I’ll post part 2 of these articles later on in the morning…
