All this AI hype really makes me wonder.
The advancements in AI technology are super cool and interesting to work with and get inspired by.
But also scary how much power it takes to run such a thing.
Each prompt we make, is pretty expensive compared to a simple duckduckgo search

So while thinking of all this, I started a graphic series that I call: Humain

Just to remain us all that we are merging together with AI no matter if we like it or not.
We should make sure we improve ourself and not let AI control our own output to the world – just because it sounds better.
We as a human race will be better off, if we use AI to become great ourself.

And obviously to prove my point, I have used AI to enhance and speedup my ideation and generation of parts of the graphics.
Specifically to generate the paintings used in these.
I thought of the initial idea, did research to find real people in the poses, find real paintings with the style and find the final color scheme I had in mind.
Eventually I let AI help me, I made several prompts to refine the pictures of real people, into fictive people with same style and positions and finally to refine them into the paintings using the real paintings as references for style.
