You might have heard it in the past few months: some areas of the Internet are buzzing with discussions on “generative art”, that is, artwork generated from “AI” models that were fed with an absurdly large amount of images as training as a base. There are supporters, there are critics, and techology advances: among all this, this post offers my humble experience with computer-generated imagery. In this post, you’ll be guided by Yumiko, Satsuki, and Maya: the first two are characters created by someone else I know (who wants to remain anonymous) which I then expanded, cooperating with their creator in a certain project from a few years ago; the latter is… well, a character with an interesting history, which will be explained later.
