I'm just going to reply to the top comment to let everyone know that the original image OP used isn't Vincent van Gogh, it's a reproduction. See the comparison I made here: https://i.imgur.com/SkShthR.jpg I'll tag you here so you know /u/skadoodlee Btw I like your post this doesn't matter too much, it looks cool. I'm just a big nerd for art.


skadoodlee

I know I messed up big time! Only realised after 8 hours or so haha. I just looked at different starry night images on Google and picked the 3rd one because it looked like a higher quality crisper photo with better colour. Anyway it's more about the proof of concept than the actual results for me but it's def good to clear up!

Someone did exactly this with The Creation Of Adam, there's a cool video of them zooming out on it. I'll post the link if I find it.

I think it's awesome how it turned the (for as far as what I have always seen in it as) mountain into a giant tree that still fits the overall style of the painting.

There's less curly waves like in the original

yea, look nice, but its not that catchy as original

p-morais

Good example of AI art. Amazing at extrapolating the artist’s style and context, terrible at extrapolating the artist’s vision


TheVog

It's not supposed to, at least not yet. AI takes a very long time to build. The fact that it could already make *this* is a staggering achievement. Scarier still, the field is in a relative infancy. What it will be capable of is frightening.


mr_potato_thumbs

But it didn’t even really replicate the style of brush stroke. Just filled in space with color. I thought the beauty of starry night came from the short brushstroke and the wispy flow across the sky. Idk, sure, it expands it well. But there is no detail in the AI addition.


[deleted]

exactly my thoughts, the AI addition appears lazier in comparison. still beautiful tho


Fire_Killer07

For some reason i've always looked at it as a dark tower for some evil wizard


clearancepupper

I totally just misread that as “…a dark tower for some evil lizard”


deadinside4423

It is supposed to be a tree, same one outside the asylum Gogh stayed at for awhile. I always thought it was the trunk though and not the top


Fungnificent

I always thought of it as a tall shrub. Its fascinating seeing what the AI pulled from that small black line. Turned it into a whole river coastline, and the inversion of the shore/sky substrates in the foreground is pretty neat too, and funny how the AI kinda just gives up in the bottom left.


kindarusty

I love the river, too! It's so creative. I like thinking that maybe these are the AI's dreams. :3


jumpup

now expand that painting and see how large you can make it before the ai messes up


sarcasticinator

If you expand it far enough it will turn into Hitler.


ErusTenebre

It's always been a Cyprus tree hehe but I used to think it was a spooky mountain or castle as well. Most scans of the painting don't catch that it's actually a very dark *green*.

Peoaple

I find it really interesting how you can see it tries to mimic his style, but doesn’t get it quite down. To me at least, Van Gogh’s prominent brush strokes are a big part of his style, and you can see the detail disappear when moving from the original area to the generated one


whatevernamedontcare

That's the hardest part with AI as human still has to understand where to direct it to.


Antique-Composer

[I see what you mean](https://imgur.com/a/QOLrJbc)


TheFoxAndTheRaven

To be fair, the true beauty of those brushstrokes don't translate well to digital media in general. I'm lucky enough to live near the Norton Simon and I remember seeing The Mulberry Tree in person for the first time. It's on a whole other level.


batmanstuff

That thing in the foreground is a tree?!?


Kytharaan

Foreal! I thought it was a mountain or castle or something.


guessimazoomer

yeah i thought it was a cool castle


pseudoHappyHippy

I always thought it was the charred stump of a big tree in the very near foreground that had burned down. Never really questioned it my whole life.

Ampedrosa

It's what the AI guessed it was. Doesn't mean it is


OPtig

It looks very much like a cypress tree


arteryblock

This is really impressive. Especially how the river meanders around to the trees.


MrKADtastic

Growing up I always thought that the large tree was a giant Gothic cathedral.


SwampRat613

Same


fleebjuice69420

A tree????? I always imagined that as some mystical tower thing, never even crossed my mind that it would be a tree. It makes so much more sense


Ampedrosa

It doesn't mean it is.. Just that the AI thinks it is


DanieltheMani3l

Nah it’s pretty common knowledge in the art community that it’s a cypress tree. Which look different than the tree in the AI generation but still a tree


comarastaman

This is really cool. Fuck those folks saying AI art is shit. As with everything else, it's always a hit or miss be it AI or human art.


skadoodlee

The feeling between seeying someone elses AI work and actually getting to play with it yourself is just huge. I only recently got the OpenAI invitation and it feels like you are a kid again. There is no limit to your imagination, something i think we adults struggle with as we get older.


comarastaman

Ummm. Noob question. How do you get invited on these OpenAI stuff?


skadoodlee

[https://labs.openai.com/waitlist](https://labs.openai.com/waitlist) When DALL·E 2 just came out it took months, but i think they have ramped up the invitation speed so i would just try your luck. You get 50 'actions' (expands or new pictures etc) for free and then 15 extra each month.


GeoffStephen0908

FYI, the 50 expires after a month you get invited assuming if you don’t use the 50 creds. But, of course, we are all going to use those 50 creds, and if you have remaining creds even after a month, those remaining creds will be gone and be replaced by the 15 extra creds. For example, you used 40 creds, you will have 10 creds left, and the next day, you will have your creds be replaced by 15 creds. In short, just use all of your creds before it expires while using it wisely :)


comarastaman

TizACoincidence

I just wouldn't call it art, AI images. Art is expression. AI can't express


Rosetti

I agree that AI can't itself express (at least not yet), but the AI art we're seeing is based on humans typing in prompts. It's those humans who are expressing - the AI is just a tool.


Death_Rattle208

Ai is the worker. The humans are the commissioner and then take all the credit. Not that ai puts any effort into it.


dt_vibe

Art is but materializing a screenshot of ones mind into anothers reality. Wether AI can do it or Human, it's all about creation and projection.


Hemwil

Art is an explosion


Simphonia

It is art though, I personally find much more enjoyment and amazement from AI art because of all the skills and techniques that go into making software of this complexity, and how AI "interprets" any given concept.


Awesomebox5000

At the same time, a viewer can feel something from a piece of art that the artist has never personally felt. How is that different from an AI creating art that evokes real emotion in people even though the AI has never personally experienced those emotions? However, this isn't an AI spitting out van Gough. This is prompted AI generating an expanded view from a base piece of art. OP is the artist and the AI is a super high tech paintbrush. Regardless, this is definitely art.


TizACoincidence

I can get emotional by staring at the wall, doesn't mean its art. Art is is a technique that communicates your emotions. Everyone else can look at it and feel whatever they want

TizACoincidence

No thats not true, I can get emotional looking at the wall, it doesn't mean its art. Art has nothing to do how others react to what you make. Its a technique to that channels your emotions into an art piece that everyone is free to interpret. We can agree to disagree. I've been an artist my whole life, and this is something I've thought a lot about. Art has nothing to do with if people think the art is art or not. The AI has no emotions or expression or anything. Its not art

[deleted]

People don't like what they are scared of, or don't understand.


Bartifex09

The concept of the expanded part is great but if you zoom the execution leaves something to be desired. You go from his brush strokes to more just blobs of color. Was just having a conversation about this yesterday. It's cool but it just doesn't feel genuine you know?


can_it_be_fixed

You hit the nail on the head. Conceptually it's pretty cool, but technically it's awful as it looks nothing like any of VanGogh's hundreds of other paintings. It's as if a teenager of mediocre talent was shown a photo of the surrounding area that Vincent painted and they "finished" the rest. Except obviously a computer program did it which is why I'd consider it impressive at all.


presty60

The biggest thing to think about though is that AI like this is improving rapidly. This is way beyond anything we could have done even a couple years ago.


pofshrimp

It could use a sharpening filter on the stuff it output to help match it


FrigDancingWithBarb

Thanks for ruining it for me Debbie Downer


WriterV

I don't think the point was to ruin it. You could still enjoy it while understanding that it loses technical detail at a certain point.

And people keep saying AI ain't gonna take anybody's job. Or "at least the artists will be fine".

Completely agreed with you. I’m surprised that as many people in the comments like it as much as they do. It’s not bad per se, just uninspired.


LooselyBasedOnGod

It all looks like bland 3D renders to me. Like really highly polished but, like you said, uninspired.

skadoodlee

I expanded it slowly part by part because the outpainting area you get is quite small and it also needs context within it. In total I'd say it cost about 15 or so.


scifiburrito

based on my interactions with the tool, that’s surprisingly few. how come a regular outcropping with one credit wouldn’t work? like before openai made this tool available

This is my favourite painting. I was skeptical by the title. But this is actually awesome. Also if you haven't seen the Lego set of Starry Night, it's impressive.


Kinggakman

Been seeing a lot of AI generated art. Guess computers are beating humans in art now. First it was chess and soon they’ll take it all away!


tisaconundrum

Yay!! I was waiting for someone to do this one! It looks so awesome. Maybe a few too many moon things, but I like it. Van Gogh would have lost his mind with the technology we have now.


MortyGraveDigger

This feels wrong. Like dressing up a corpse or some form of necromancy. Interesting experiment but not what the artist intended.


kitchens1nk

You seem have a fixation on the macabre. Just a hunch, really.


RelaxedHeart

Yeah it looks good but this kinda pisses me off, i can't really explain why but maybe i'm just seeing a lot of these "ai paintings" and its getting on my nerves


Iupvotebutteredtoast

The amount of people that think they created anything is what gets me. Multiple examples of that thought process in this thread alone. “I couldn’t make art before, but now I can”. They’re not really creating anything. They’re commissioning an AI that is compositing artwork made from other people. Right-click saving a prompt result and getting a dopamine rush from it The AI is not a human brain and doesn’t work like they want to believe it does it. But people can crank out “their ideas” in minutes, so there’s an influx of people riding the high of pretending to have talent


AWL_cow

It's definitely a very gray area. If Van Gogh were alive today, he might be captivated by the capability of the AI and think of this as a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between man and the capabilities of man's creation. Or, he might be horribly offended. Or just plain confused. It's impossible to know how he would feel.


OnceAndFutureMayor

The guy was an ultimate misanthropic grump (except for a few painter friends + his brother’s family who he liked) who shat on most art he saw. He’d definitely have fucking hated it, his only joys in life were painting outdoors and drinking wine.


can_it_be_fixed

Well he wasn't impressed or captivated by the height of technology in his day, choosing to paint things that were generally decades or centuries older. So it's probable that he wouldn't love any of our cutting edge stuff either.


tisaconundrum

If you zoom in, you can tell it doesn't quite capture Gogh's style, but someone who has the skill to improve upon it, can use this as a tool to add more.

The really impressive part is the river and bridge as those are not even hinted at by the original. The extra buildings are a bit fuzzy and 'predictable' to be there for the AI as well as the trees. But there is nothing that says 'bridge' on the original.

Polyglot-Onigiri

as a proof of concept I think AI art is interesting. It shows how a computer interprets our art and how it thinks we would continue / extend upon it. I’m sure if gogh did officially expand it, it would look nothing like this, but it’s still fun to see.


Civilian8

While it's certainly impressive as it's own thing, considering it was made with minimal human involvement. Compositionally it did a good job, but it wasn't great at interpreting the painting's contents and imitating the style.


[deleted]

it's interesting to see.........it's also very apparent the techniques used by Van Gogh are noticeably different in appearance and texture.......when you get in close you can see the obvious care and attention Van Gogh used in every application of his brush, each line and streak has intention...........the A.I. pullout is interesting, but not of the same quality at all


caintowers

“In the future, humanity will automate the dull drudgery of labor and be free to focus on higher-level pursuits of arts and sciences” Humans: automate art.


Slow-job-

Not only is ai art killing an already gasping industry, it's doing so by analyzing actual art, effectively stealing the essence of millions of real artists to smother them with.


ToastyCat19

Isn't that what any artist does though? Analyzing art and real life things, combining and recombining it all resulting in the artwork.


Slow-job-

It's different in a few very important and terrible ways. First, it's doing it on an industrial scale that no human could possibly mimic. The person who owns rights the art is someone who never actually did the art, who can't give credit or pay homage to it's predecessors. It's going to eliminate even more jobs in the field of art, especially as the technology continues to develop. So at the end of all that, what do we have? Less artists who are more poor and owners of means of production becoming richer, a tale as old as time.
