Introduction

Welcome back to Trees and Tassels! In today's video, I, Imogen, am going to share a unique experience with you—creating AI art portraits of myself. I have always been curious about AI and its capabilities, especially in the art realm. Today, I will be using AI image generators to transform my own photographs into extraordinary art pieces. But before we dive in, make sure to subscribe and follow me on Instagram for more captivating content.

The Controversy of AI Art

As we embark on this AI art journey, it's important to acknowledge the controversy surrounding it. AI art has stirred debates and concerns about the creativity of human artists and potential copyright infringement. To provide you with a balanced perspective, I will share some insightful articles discussing the ethical side of AI art in the description below.

So let's not shy away from embracing the possibilities AI art presents.

The Process: Creating AI Art Portraits

Now, let's delve into the exciting process of transforming my photographs into AI art portraits. I chose five distinct images for this experiment, each showcasing different backgrounds, poses, and personal styles. I fed these images into various AI image generators to witness their magic unfold. In this section, I will take you through the entire process and share my thoughts on each result.

Reviewing the Results

1. Photograph in Italy: The AI transformed this photograph into a portrait with a Studio Ghibli or anime quality to it. Although my hair color changed, I was pleasantly surprised by the incorporation of the background elements. Rating: 4/5.

2. Photograph in Scotland: Choosing an abstract and peculiar art style for this photograph didn't yield favorable results. The AI mashed up my face, making it unrecognizable. Unfortunately, this art style didn't resonate with me. Rating: 2/5.

3. Close-up Headshot: In this experiment, the AI produced a GRID of four portraits. While some resembled a younger version of me, others deviated from my likeness. Nevertheless, the style, reminiscent of classic oil paintings, appealed to my artistic sensibilities. Rating: 4/5.

4. Unflattering Screenshot: Despite the original photo's unflattering nature, the AI pleasantly surprised me with its artistic dot-style output. The vibrant colors and unique aesthetic elevated this portrait. Rating: 4.5/5.

5. Hot Tub Moment in Italy: The AI exceeded my expectations with this portrait. It beautifully captured a sun-kissed idealistic vibe, making it the best result of the experiment. The contrast and artistic interpretation truly impressed me. Rating: 5/5.
