It sounds like she was saying, "if things are going to look this horrible, it may not be worth living"
Image Unavailable, Please Login So John got me intrigued to the point where I needed to see for myself what the AI tool could do. I fed it a lame sketch I did 40 yrs ago to see what would happen. To say I'm impressed would be a gross understatement! Image Unavailable, Please Login View attachment 3595805
What AI program are you talking about? Link? Thanks! I also have a bunch of 50-year old sketches that would be fun to play with on a rainy day.
Here's some humor for your weekend: Image Unavailable, Please Login Actually, it is a posting mistake by the publisher. I'm sure John will be passing along more next week as the Japan Mobility Show unfolds. And they do have some real winners (like above) that look like they came out of a child's toy box.
My friend Kuni continues to experiment with ai tools. I think the results are very cool. Obviously, the better the input, the better the output. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
The Rise of AI in the Automotive Industry, in Car Design and in Art admin October 13, 2023 0 Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login The pace at which industries, including the automotive industry, adapt to artificial intelligence (AI) is influenced by several factors, making it challenging to predict precisely.

Consumer Demand: The demand for AI-driven features is on the rise. Consumers expect intelligent infotainment systems, voice assistants, driver monitoring systems, and autonomous capabilities. This demand fuels the integration of AI into automotive design. Image Unavailable, Please Login 2. The Arts in General: Technological Integration: In the arts, AI is already making strides in areas like music composition, visual art creation, and even writing. The pace of AI adoption in the arts will largely depend on the willingness of artists and creators to experiment with AI tools and platforms. Creativity and Human Involvement: The arts are deeply rooted in human creativity, emotion, and expression. While AI can assist and enhance the creative process, there is likely to be a continued preference for human creativity, and AI is more likely to be used as a tool rather than a replacement. Education and Training: The speed of AI adoption in the arts may also depend on the availability of training and education in AI tools for artists and creators. As artists become more familiar with AI, the pace of adoption is likely to increase. Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration: Collaborations between artists and technologists are increasingly common. This can accelerate AI adoption as artists and technologists work together to explore new possibilities. In summary, the automotive industry’s adaptation to AI is well underway and is expected to continue at a relatively faster pace than the transition from internal combustion engines (ICE) to electric vehicles (EVs). The factors driving this transition are multifaceted and interconnected, and they vary by region, market segment, and specific AI applications. As AI technologies continue to evolve, we can anticipate more advanced AI-driven features and, eventually, widespread autonomous vehicles on the road, transforming the automotive landscape in the coming years. While the adaptation to AI in automotive design has already made significant progress and is expected to continue at a relatively fast pace, AI adoption in the arts will likely be more nuanced. The arts will continue to be driven by human creativity and emotion, with AI serving as a tool to assist and enhance creative processes. The speed of AI adoption in both areas will depend on factors such as regulation, consumer demand, competition, and the readiness of individuals and organizations to embrace and experiment with AI technologies.
