Unveiling the Image-Generating AI: Rhizomatiks’ Latest Innovation
Digital art encompasses a variety of forms, but the focus this time is on the evolution of “AI-generated images” and their potential “limitations.” First, let’s establish a foundation by exploring the image-generating AI “Beyond Perception Model,” which Rhizomatiks has introduced and is displayed at the edge of the venue.
The AI showcased at the earlier exhibition in Tennoz is a “purely cultivated” model, exclusively trained on data sourced from Rhizomatiks. It’s like an AI that has solely grazed on the grass from the Rhizomatiks farm, reflecting the creators’ distinct influence. The standout feature of this AI is that it eliminates worries about copyright infringement and doesn’t produce ethically questionable images. Moreover, the black cube-shaped PC housing this AI, along with its monitor, is priced at 5.5 million yen. This allows buyers to sidestep the various concerns linked to AI-generated images and freely craft digital art in the signature Rhizomatiks style. To top it off, commercial usage is allowed, prompting a simple yet significant question: “Is that really acceptable…?” One might ponder if this isn’t the most critical, protected aspect of the process.
