Their facial expressions here also reflect the true nature of their relationship — a rivalry marked by playful teasing, even as they form an occasional alliance when their interests align.

An experiment in AI-generated hybrid art based on my Touhou Project fan art.
* AI hybrid experiment*
Asked ChatGPT to redraw some unfortunate illustration with critical mistakes.
A set of these illustrations is a redrawn version by ChatGPT, of the following works

My feedback on AI art (both pure and hybrid):
This is actually my first attempt at creating AI art. However, rather than instructing an AI tool to generate artwork via a command prompt—such as using Python in Stable Diffusion—I used an illustration I had already created and had the AI—ChatGPT, in this case—process it.
It is an interesting experiment to upload my already made images to an AI tool such as ChatGPT to redraw it. The AI corrects the crucial mistakes I have made while transforming to a popular art style. It can be useful for cases like
- Reusing a piece of artwork that was compromised by a critical mistake or a lack of technique.
- Facing constraints in time and energy when producing multiple pieces—for example, when creating a film.
The drawback is losing my style of characteristics in these arts after the AI process. While observing various AI arts, the art style of these AI tools seems to be quite unified to the certain extend. AI is still generally limited to reproducing art styles that are well represented in its training data such as historically famous or currently popular arts. Because a unique art style of the user is usually undermined, it is not suitable for creating one piece of their impressive art.
Furthermore, only a very limited number of files are available process with these AI tools for a free option. It can be far less efficient to continue processing an image with AI in order to achieve the desired result than simply using traditional hand-drawing techniques.
In conclusion, AI art in any form has pros and cons. It depends on its application and the characteristics of the user's art skill. I may use the AI in some situation such as when I need a mass production of images. On the other hand, I am confident in my own drawing technique even though it might not perfectly match with what the popularity requires at the moment. Moreover, I am passionate to keep practising and improving my art technique. Hence, the AI process is useful as a supplement; not a substitution.
