This is never more apparent than in the recent <em>New Yorker<\/em> illustration done by David Szauder for a profile piece of OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman. When viewed, it provides a genuinely uncanny experience, making it feel like something best suited for Halloween, rather than a revered publication like the <em>New Yorker<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at the illustration, your eyes are immediately drawn to Altman, standing in a plain blue sweater, a neutral expression etched upon his face. But things quickly take a surreal turn with a halo of faces encompassing his head. Multiple Altman look-alikes leer out at the viewer, each one showcasing a variety of emotions from rage to desolation. With one final face being cradled in Altman&#8217;s hands, this illustration feels like an eerie embodiment of John Milton\u2019s famous quote, \u201cThe mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven..\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The real plot-twist in this visual storytelling is present in the fine print at the bottom of it &#8211; \u201cVisual by David Szauder; Generated using A.I.\u201d. That&#8217;s right &#8211; this creative piece was birthed not solely from human hands, but through the use of Artificial Intelligence. Szauder, a seasoned mixed media artist with over a decade of experience with collage, video, and generative art processes, adopted AI as his tool for this captivating illustration.<\/p>\n<p>The choice of AI is a fitting companion for the profile of Sam Altman, the current CEO of OpenAI. Altman is a known figure in the tech world, co-founding the user-submitted news site Reddit and co-creating the location-based social networking app, Loopt. His journey into the realm of artificial intelligence with OpenAI seems to have impacted the artistic representation of his likeness.<\/p>\n<p>The merging of the human artist&#8217;s input and the possibilities rendered by artificial intelligence has given rise to an intriguing artistic method. This fusion has resulted in an illustration that&#8217;s even more engaging as it provokes thought about the purpose, possibilities, and pitfalls inherent in artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, as unsettling as some people might find the illustration, it&#8217;s undoubtedly captivating. It&#8217;s a stark reminder of how artificial intelligence is increasingly creeping into our daily lives. More importantly, it opens a conversation. A conversation about how much we trust AI, how much control we&#8217;re willing to give it, and, ultimately, who has the power to regulate its use?<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about David Szauder&#8217;s AI-generated illustration and how it was created, read the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/ai-artificial-intelligence\/910460\/new-yorker-david-szauder-illustration-generative-ai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">full story at The Verge.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The world of art and technology often collide in unusual and surprising ways.
