Using AI For Art, Images, And Book Covers With Derek Murphy (Midjourney, DALL-E 2)
Generative art tools like DALL-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion are taking AI art into the mainstream. What are the opportunities for authors? What are the problems and controversies to be aware of? I talk about these issues and more with Derek Murphy.
In the intro, I mention my J.F. Penn NFTs [ https://jfpenn.com/tag/nfts/ ] with AI-generated art based on words from my novels; Microsoft will incorporate DALL-E into design products [ https://techcrunch.com/2022/10/12/mic... ]; Meta's Make-A-Video and Google's Imagen Video [ https://techmonitor.ai/technology/eme... ].
