Abstract: Image generation AI can produce images even when given invented or unrelated words that it hasn’t been specifically trained on. Using personal names or coined pen names functioning as artist names, I provided short prompts of about 2-3 words to Stable Diffusion XL to create painting-like images. The choice of pen name helps define the generated image’s character, giving personality to the artist name. Since Stable Diffusion allows for negative prompts, even greater image variety can be achieved. By adjusting random seeds to generate a wide range of images, I could select those where the AI’s “artistic talent” was particularly evident. The exhibition will focus on about ten especially interesting pieces, with others included for reference.
