My AI Art: Ukrainian Resistance, Liberation, and Hope for the Future
With AI in the news nearly every day, I decided to try my hand using OpenAI’s DALL-E, which I found both incredibly impressive and a nice, even therapeutic creative outlet. Given that my current research focuses on the war in Ukraine, which involves not only reading books and articles about Ukrainian history, culture, etc. but also following the war very closely each day. Reading about and seeing images of the horrific violence that Russia is carrying out on the territory of Ukraine and its cruelty toward Ukrainian civilians, soldiers, animals, and the land itself, can be overwhelming. (Of course, my experience pales in comparison to what Ukrainians and all living beings in Ukraine are suffering each day.)
Below are some of the images that I created with DALL-E, all of which are inspired by Ukrainian resistance and the care and compassion that they demonstrate to each other as well as to animals during this difficult time of war.
