In the second half of 2022, interest in artificial intelligence in South Korea seems hotter than ever.
When looking at artificial intelligence, various fields exist and are being used in many ways, and it is expected to grow even more..
Among them, the field showing the biggest output and traffic recently is
It seems to be in the field of "AI drawing".
Since the performance is already amazing, talk is starting to come out about how it will completely ruin the livelihoods of traditional artists...
I had been interested in this field for a while, but I couldn't bring myself to try it out because I didn't know how. Finally, through the study live broadcast hosted by the Level Zero Community, a knowledge-sharing community I run, I was able to experience AI image generation through a mini session led by Dongmullie.

Among them, the AI service to be introduced today is DALL E
https://openai.com/dall-e-2/

Thinking of Salvador Dali, this service creates realistic images and artworks based on natural language. It is quite intuitive and easy to use, so I will introduce it for the first time.
Visiting the homepage, the UI/UX is very clean and intuitively well-made, which is very satisfying.
It expresses the somewhat difficult-to-understand AI command stage in a very intuitive way.

The sample images appearing on the first page are all images created by the DALL E artificial intelligence.
By clicking on the samples, you can see what words or sentences were used to create the corresponding images.

Just looking at the results is a marvel in itself.
Enter the keyword in the input box at the top of the first page and press the generate button to start using it immediately; depending on the word or sentence, you can view the result in as little as 10 to 30 seconds.

Although it is not an all-purpose AI image generator based on natural language, if you choose keywords well and create sentences, truly amazing works will come out. In particular, for paintings by existing painters or authors who have been trained extensively, truly amazing works come out as if the author were alive.
Truly realistic paintings..
Please refer to the following YouTube video for the overall usage or introduction.
Even if the usage is said to be very easy, there are some parts that need to get used to, and since keywords must be entered in English, there is also a bit of pressure from the language; if you use broken English, the results can be completely bizarre.
When you create an account, you get 50 credits for free, and after that, you get about 15 dollars for 115 credits. Since credits cost about 182 won each, it's definitely not cheap...
But as you go on, it gets so fun that you keep clicking...click...click without even realizing it. Wow….
I haven't actually drawn with AI much yet, so it's a bit early to give a full review, but... it's simply shocking as the name suggests..
There are many things I feel, but I will organize and post about that part separately in the future.
Next, let's introduce another popular AI novel platform.
