@henrydaubrez Cool. Might encourage a few other people to dust off some old, previously unrealistic projects :)

BURGER WELLY 2023: The Invasion of the Burger Snatchers!

The countdown to Burger Welly '23 in on! One of my favourite times of the year, and this time I got to fever-dream this artwork for  @WellyOnaPlate & https://t.co/SELWTJsLFJ

[Tim Gibson @Tim__Gibson]

Some friends at https://t.co/xrL9VBMQIF & the lovely people at @WellyOnaPlate asked me to illustrate some yummy posters for their 2023 event. This was one of my favourites! 

Had some really nice back-and-forth on this one around native birds & magical forests.

The attack of AI advertising is nigh!!! Are AI people in ads ethical? And would we be able to tell one if we saw one?

Inspired by a local NZ political party, I tested the tech & wrote a 'How to spot an AI Ad' piece for @TheSpinoffTV

@MattEales @AucklandUni Cheers @MattEales - yes, do. I think once the ethical stuff clears up (🤞)there will be lots of interesting creative applications. Probably even before the ethical things are sorted, if I'm being realistic...

Video is up! @AucklandUni invited me to discuss the intersection of Generative AI & Creativity for their Gibbons Lecture series, link below. I start yammering at about 12mins, after the lovely waiata & intros.

If you think it has value, share it :)

@loobeny @uoacompsci @ScienceUoA @AucklandUni Thanks for your kind words @loobeny :)

@DrKaraKennedy Cheers Kara. You're right, it's a quickly changing space. The amount of sci-fi thinking we could all do about where it's going is limitless, isn't it?

Last batch of comps of NZ creative work from the Laion-5B and Laion-400M image datasets - searchable database of 5.8 Billion images is at https://t.co/FQHgcHohzO

[Tim Gibson @Tim__Gibson]

Here are a few more pieces of NZ creative industry work that I found on https://t.co/FQHgcHohzO which is a visual database of images that are beings used in Generative AI training. Few more to follow.

[Tim Gibson @Tim__Gibson]

Disclaimer: I can't verify the legal status or ownership of these searched images, only that they appear to be in the datasets being used by Gernerative AI programs like Stable Diffusion etc to create 'new work'.

[Tim Gibson @Tim__Gibson]

The Generative Image AI that I've been harping on about, hasn't just scraped the ©️ artwork & intellectual property of poor artists & uppity illustrators, they've likely also incorporated the IP of some of our biggest New Zealand companies & their creative partners. #nz #ai

[Tim Gibson @Tim__Gibson]

You can learn more about it, search the database for images that may belong to you or others, & theoretically flag them from removal to stop them from being used in future builds or models.
