I’ve explored a few text-to-image AI tools (view here), showcasing their ability to bring written words to life visually. The next step was an exploration of Image-to-AI generated storytelling (I prefer the terms “expert systems” or “machine learning systems”). Currently, this concept is supported by only a handful of applications, through which images are uploaded and used to trigger an AI-crafted short story.  

My results were a mixed bag— with outputs ranging in quality and trending towards the predictable. However, these narratives provide a fascinating insight into the potential symbiosis between visual stimuli and narrative construction as interpreted by AI.

This exploration is less about the end product and more about uncovering the potential of AI as a creative tool. We are witnessing the first tentative steps towards understanding how technology can interpret and extend the stories told through visual art.
