“The artists prefer to refer to such tools as Alien Artifact or Savant instead of using the term “Artificial Intelligence.” These models are based on a learned representation of image-text relationships, rather than a true understanding of the underlying concepts of words and images. These artificial processes are intertwined with and dependent on the artists’ input data, ideas, and vision. The artists have re- trained them, and fine-tuned the models using their own custom image collection.”
— Séamus Kealy, Director of Salzburger Kunstverein
