Artists On Twitter Draw Incredible Versions Of T. Rex In A "Prove You Won’t Be Replaced By AI" Challenge
If you’ve been on any social media recently, it’s almost certain you’ve come across Artificial Intelligence (AI) created art. People across the globe have been using AI art generators to recreate their profile pictures for Facebook or their avatars elsewhere.
There are dozens of generators that come up with a simple Google search, all offering tiered options for use. You can use their free options for a watermarked image or pay for the image without the watermark.
On the flip side, the insurgence of artificial intelligence created art has a deeply problematic side that many consumers haven’t thought much about. Essentially, actual, real-life artists are now having to compete with computers that can reproduce their own art.
It’s bonkers, and I’m not sure that there’s anything to be done about that yet. But it has inspired a very amusing Twitter thread.
User @anloremi prompted fellow Twitter users to finish a T. rex image in such a way that no artificial intelligence could replicate it. The responses were nothing short of incredible.
From truly amazing works of art to very silly doodles, artists of all talents filled the replies with their own unique works of art. We collected our favorites to share with you, so keep scrolling to enjoy!
