Photoshop meets T.SEliot

Software Used:

As generative AI technology has begun to replace many roles traditionally filled by humans, we're left questioning if these machines can truly develop perceptions and thoughts of their own. This debate extends into our interactions with language models and search engines, where we input text and anticipate a form of "understanding" that informs their responses. Is this algorithmic processing, or is there room for individual thought within these digital entities?

In order to explore this concept further, I conducted a creative experiment using Photoshop Beta. I introduced sentences and stanzas from T.S. Eliot's "The Hollow Men" to the software, curious to see how it would interpret, comprehend, and ultimately visualize the poem. This process wasn't just about testing the technical capabilities of AI but rather exploring the possibility of a digital consciousness that could engage with and reflect upon creativity.
